title: Left ventricular mass in a patient with Carney's complex.
abstract: Carney's complex is characterized by cardiac myxomas, adrenocortical disease, growth hormone-secreting adenomas, and other types of tumors. Its prevalence and incidence are unknown. The anesthesiologist must examine the patient or order tests to exclude cardiac tumors, signs of excess cortisol secretion, acromegaly, and possible peripheral nerve root involvement.
