Cutaneous and cardiac myxomas: an important association.
Carny and others have described the association of cutaneous myxomas and various nevomelanocytic neoplasms with cardiac myxomas and endocrine neoplasms. The association between cutaneous and cardiac myxomas is especially important in view of the potentially serious, even fatal, embolic sequelae of the latter neoplasm.
