[Asymptomatic Cardiac Myxoma Complicated with Carney Complex;Report of a Case].

Carney complex(CNC) is a rare genetic syndrome, characterized by spotty pigmentation of the skin, cardiac myxomas and multiple endocrine tumors. We present a case of asymptomatic cardiac myxoma associated with CNC. She was 49 year-old healthy woman whose son was known to have CNC. She was also diagnosed as CNC due to her family history, typical cutaneous findings and screening endocrine test. Screening ultrasound echocardiography resulted in discovering her asymptomatic left atrial myxoma of 30 mm size. Tumor was successfully resected via median sternotomy and no signs of recurrence were observed at 1 year follow up. Periodical follow up is mandatory because of its high recurrence rate.
