Carney Complex

Treatment option

There are no specific screening guidelines for Carney complex. Suggested screening includes:

Yearly echocardiogram, beginning in infancy

Regular skin evaluations

Yearly blood tests to check serum levels of cortisol, prolactin, and IGF-1 beginning in adolescence

Thyroid gland (neck) examinations that may include ultrasound imaging (sound waves that create a picture of internal organs)

General endocrine system screening

Testicular examinations for men

Screening guidelines may change over time as new technologies are developed and more is learned about Carney complex. It is important to talk with your doctor about appropriate screening tests.
