The association between myxomas, spotty pigmentation, and endocrine overactivity is referred to as Carney's complex. This report describes the case of a 24-year-old woman with right atrial myxoma who presented with this association. The patient had a previously excised myxoid turnor of the breast and uneven facial pigmentation was observed, but no evidence of endocrinopathy was detected. The myxoma originated from the right atrial wall adjacent to the junction of the inferior vena cava and right atrium, and was successfully excised. A brief review of Carney's complex is provided after discussion of this rare case.
