ObjectiveTo study the manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of Carney complex.MethodsCase report. We diagnosed and treated a case of a 31-year-old man with Carney complex. The data of manifestations, echocardiography, operative specimen, pathology and the literature of the disease were analysed.ResultsCarney complex is a multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome associated with myxoma, spotty skin pigmentation and endocrine overactivity that is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, and it's a rare disease. The manifestations of Carney complex can be variable with features overlapping of endocrine neoplasia and(or) cardiac myxoma, which has similar clinical manifestations as single disease. To early uncover the patients with Carney complex can significant improve the prognosis.ConclusionIt's easy to miss the diagnosis of Carney complex with absence of realization secondary of its rare incidence and involvement of multiple departments. The importance of early detection and close follow-up of the patients with Carney complex is emphasized.
