Abstract
A clinical case of a rare pathology in a 21-year-old patient – recurrent cardiac myxoma in combination with pigmented nodular adrenal hyperplasia, blue nevi, testicular tumor from Sertoli cells, nodular goiter, which corresponds to the diagnosis of “Carney complex”, first described by Carney J.A. et al. in 1985 is described in the article. Carney complex is a multidisciplinary problem that requires awareness of therapists, who may meet signs of the disease in its early stages and must, in this case, promptly refer the patient to a specialized endocrinological center for molecular genetic research and treatment.
