Abstract
Thirty-five-year old male came to medical attention when he was seen to have prominent jaw with frontal bossing and large doughy hands. Clinical examination revealed features of acromegaly and multiple lentiginous hyper-melanotic patches on the upper and lower extremities. Investigations revealed multiple left atrial myxomas and a diffusely enlarged adenohypophysis. A diagnosis of Carney's Complex was made, which is a rare autosomal dominant condition, characterized by the triad of endocrinopathies, atrial myxomas and lentiginous skin lesions. He was surgically managed for the atrial myxomas and pituitary macroadenoma and is currently asymptomatic. He continues to remain under regular follow up. With about 750 described cases on contemporary literature1, this rare condition remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge and often requires a multidisciplinary approach for accurate management.
