title: Carney complex.
abstract: A 55-year-old man with a history of two atrial myxomas presented for evaluation and removal of skin lesions. Histopathologic examination showed a well-circumscribed lesion that was consistent with a myxomatous polyp. Carney complex is a syndrome with multiple neoplasias, which is characterized by mucocutaneous myxomas, cardiac myxomas, lentigines, and endocrine abnormalities. Patients with Carney complex need to be monitored for the development of cardiac myxomas and endocrine tumors.
