Abstract:
Carney complex (CNC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that involves the heart, multiple endocrine systems, testis, skin, breast, and bone. We report a case of a 38-year-old woman, diagnosed with CNC, with a mass involving the petrous bone, a pituitary adenoma, a cavernous angioma, multiple cerebral aneurysms, and venous malformations. CNC should be included in the differential diagnoses of patients who have an atrial myxoma, brain tumor, or intracranial vascular malformations.
