Recurrent Biatrial Myxomas in Carney Complex with a Spinal Melanotic Schwannoma: Advocacy for a Rigorous Multidisciplinary Follow-Up.
A 31-year-old female patient with a previous history of Carney complex and surgical resection for cardiac myxoma and bilateral adrenalectomy at 18 years old and 10 and 11 years old, respectively, was referred to our department with a diagnosis of recurrent biatrial myxomas incidentally discovered on echography. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the diagnosis of a tumor protruding into the left ventricle, and the patient underwent a surgical resection of a large left atrial mass and a right-sided atrial small tumor. Diagnosis of bilateral atrial myxomas was confirmed by histologic studies. Postoperative outcome was uneventful, and the patient was discharged at the 7th postoperative day. Few months later, she reported trivial clinical symptoms suspecting a cervical radiculopathy. MRI confirmed the presence of a compressive cervical spinal cord tumoral mass at the C2-3 level leading to perform a surgical exeresis of the tumor. Histology showed a spinal melanotic schwannoma. This case highlights the risk of unexpected ubiquitary tumor locations and the importance of a rigorous transversal multidisciplinary follow-up to prevent severe complications in patients with Carney complex.
