Carney complex (CNC) is an inherited neoplasia syndrome characterized by spotty skin pigmentation, myxomas, endocrine tumors, and schwannomas. Among the endocrine tumors that comprise the syndrome, GH-producing pituitary tumors are seen in approximately 10% of patients, although biochemical abnormalities of the GH axis are much more common.
