| Popis: | Carney's complex is composed of myxoma, spotty pigmentation and endocrine overactivity. A 27-year-old male was diagnosed to have Carney's complex on the basis of intense spotty pigmentations on his face, soles and palms, and bilateral adrenal nodular hyperplasia on computed tomography scanning (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Total bilateral adrenectomy was done; histological findings were compatible with primary pigmented adrenocortical disease (PPNAD). Recently, his sister and one of his brothers were suspected to have Carney's complex with PPNAD. We report the first familial case of Carney's complex with PPNAD and spotty pigmentations in Japan. |
