description Carney complex (CNC) is an extremely rare genetic syndrome of pigmented skin lesions, endocrine hyperfunction and myxoma. Given its diverse clinical manifestations, CNC is often misdiagnosed. Recognition of some special clinical manifestations and imaging features may help with the diagnosis. Early diagnosis of CNC would alert ongoing surveillance of tumors and complications; the prognosis of CNC may thus be improved by early treatment. Herein, we report two cases of CNC with bone lesions.
