Carney complex and its subsets LAMB syndrome[1] and NAME syndrome[1] are autosomal dominant conditions comprising myxomas of the heart and skin, hyperpigmentation of the skin (lentiginosis), and endocrine overactivity.[2][3] It is distinct from Carney triad. Approximately 7% of all cardiac myxomas are associated with Carney complex.[4]
