Carney complex sporadic with Schwannoma melanocytic and thyroid papillary carcinoma: case report

Abstract

Carney complex is a rare form of familiar multiple endocrine neoplasia of autosomal dominant inheritance. Is associated with changes in cutaneous and mucosa pigmentation, adrenal nodular pigmental disease, primary cardiac, cutaneous or vaginal myxomas, pituitary adenomas, testicular neoplasm, nonfunctioning adenoma or carcinoma of thyroid and ovarian cysts. Approximately 70% of individuals diagnosed with Carney complex have parents affected and 30% present the sporadic form of the disease. Sporadic Carney complex is rare, which makes the diagnosis even more difficult. We present a case of a female patient, 24 years old with Schwanoma of fusiform cells and thyroid papillary carcinoma, such findings, refer to diagnosis of suspicion of Carney Complex.
