title: [Echocardiographic aspects of multiple myxoma in Carney's syndrome].
abstract: In Carney's syndrome, the association of cardiac myxomas, spotty pigmentation and endocrine over activity, the myxomas are usually multiple and have atypical locations. The authors report a case in which an accurate diagnosis of these multiple myxomas was made by transoesophageal echocardiography, although transthoracic echocardiography had missed the diagnosis.
