The myxoma complex is a very rare disease. We report on a 31-year-old woman who suffered
a hyperthyreosis, which resolved spontaneously. A few months later she developed a
Cushing's Syndrome, caused by a primary adrenocortical nodular dysplasia. A bilateral
adrenalectomy had to be performed. 15 months after this Operation she developed a
cerebral infarction caused by an embolus from a left atrial myxoma. Our patient is
a further case of Carney's Syndrome. The aspect of the hyperthyreosis is interesting:
Perhaps disease of the thyroid represents a new element of Carney's Syndrome.
Cardiac myxoma - Bilateral primary adrenocortical nodular dysplasia - Myxoma complex
- Carney's syndrome - Hyperthyroidism
