Carney Complex Type I: Multiple neoplasia syndrome characterized
by spotty skin pigmentation, cardiac and other myxomas organs (e.g., breast,
skin, thyroid gland, neural tissue), endocrine tumors, and psammomatous
melanotic schwannomas. Clinical features include lentigines (brown
discoloration of skin) and pigmented nevi, pituitary overactivity (Cushing
syndrome), ventricular myxoma, subcutaneous myxoid neurofibromata, and
mammary fibroadenosis. Hirsutism and spotty facial and labial (female)
pigmentation are characteristics of this medical condition. Severe
atherosclerotic narrowing of the left anterior descending coronary artery
has been reported as the cause of death in a 44-year-old man following
surgical hernioplasty. NAME (nevi, atrial myxoma, myxoid neurofibroma, and
ephelides [tanned skin macules]) syndrome and LAMB (lentigines, atrial
myxoma, and blue nevi) syndrome now are considered under the group of Carney
complex.
