Newborn infant with congenital lentigines as a manifestation of Carney Complex.

Amarpal Singh Bilkhu1, Raju Sunderesan2.   

Abstract

Carney Complex (CNC) is a rare syndrome characterised by skin pigmentation, endocrine over activity and myxomas, with the median age of detection being 20 years. We present a case of CNC diagnosed in infancy after being noted to have multiple lentigines over his face, abdomen, back and thighs at birth. We consider the differential diagnoses of similar cutaneous presentations in the well neonate and review the prognosis and suggested surveillance of patients with CNC. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2020.
