Abstract
“Carney Complex” an often Missed Diagnosis - Case of Cerebrovascular Accident in a Young Patient with Atrial Myxoma and Myxoid Neurofibromas
Highlights
Carney Complex (CNC) and its subsets NAME syndrome and LAMB syndrome are very rare multiple neoplastic syndromes, mostly inherited in an autosomal-dominant manner and associated with distinctive cutaneous lesions, myxomas both cardiac and cutaneous and Citation: Mbaebie N, Veeranna V (2018) “Carney Complex” an often Missed Diagnosis - Case of Cerebrovascular Accident in a Young Patient with Atrial Myxoma and Myxoid Neurofibromas
Patient with history of myxoid neurofibromatosis, found to have atrial myxoma, ephelides, nevi presenting with stroke meets 2 major criteria for diagnosis of CNC of NAME subtype table 1
The diagnosis of CNC should be suspected in patients presenting with characteristic cutaneous findings such as lentiginosis with periorificial distribution, lentigines located in the lid margins or lacrimal caruncle, multiple blue nevi, cutaneous myxomas, cardiac myxomas, myxoid neurofibromatosis and endocrine diseases e.g., Cushing’s syndrome, gigantism/acromegaly [6]
Summary
Carney Complex (CNC) and its subsets NAME syndrome and LAMB syndrome are very rare multiple neoplastic syndromes, mostly inherited in an autosomal-dominant manner and associated with distinctive cutaneous lesions, myxomas both cardiac and cutaneous and Citation: Mbaebie N, Veeranna V (2018) “Carney Complex” an often Missed Diagnosis - Case of Cerebrovascular Accident in a Young Patient with Atrial Myxoma and Myxoid Neurofibromas. Physical examination revealed numerous spotty skin pigmentations in form of nevi, ephelides and innumerable neurofibromatosis distributed on the face, both forearms and back (Figure 1).
