The Carney complex, also known as Carney syndrome, NAME syndrome and LAMB syndrome, is a bunch of things that occur together due to some genetic problem.[1] It should not be confused with the Carney triad.
NAME and LAMB are acronyms that were proposed later.[2]
In addition to the elements in NAME and LAMB, it includes:
Types
Two types exist:
Acronyms
NAME
NAME:
- Nevi.
- Atrial myxoma.
- Myxoid neurofibroma.
- Ephelides (freckles[6]).
- Pronounced e-FEE-le-DEEs.[7]
LAMB
LAMB:
- Lentigines.
- Focal melanocyte hyperplasia.
- Atrial myxomas.
- Mucocutaneous myxomas.
- Blue nevi.
Notes:
- Large calcifying sertoli cell tumours are also described in association Carney complex.[8]
