[Complex myxoma detected by syncope: a case report].
A 23-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of syncope and intracardiac masses. Echocardiography revealed three masses in the right ventricle and one in the left ventricle. The largest mass, 4 by 5 cm, occupied the right ventricular outflow tract and prolapsed through the pulmonary valve orifice. Right ventricular systolic pressure was 65 mmHg. A soft mass, 4 by 5 cm, was found on the left subcostal abdominal wall and multiple pigmented spots on the face and trunk. Histological examination of the resected tumors, including the abdominal soft mass, were consistent with myxoma. The combination of multiple cardiac and abdominal wall myxomas and pigmented skin lesions in this young patient is considered to be a diagnostic feature of Carney complex.
