Nasal Osteochondromyxoma Without Carney Complex: A Case Report and a Literature Review

Osteochondromyxoma (OMX) is an extremely rare bone tumor and has been classified by the World Health Organization as a benign chondrogenic bone tumor. The tumor can be associated with Carney complex which is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome. The clinical presentation of the patient depends primarily on the location and the size of the tumor. It has an excellent prognosis with complete surgical excision. Here, in this case, we present a young female patient diagnosed with OMX without carney complex and underwent complete endoscopic surgical excision.

Carney complex: Two case reports and review of literature

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.
