We conclude that the development of cardiac myxomas in CNC may be associated with increased GH secretion, in a manner analogous to the association between fibrous dysplasia and GH excess in McCune-Albright syndrome, a condition similar to CNC.
McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) typically comprises the constellation of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, café-au-lait spots, and associated endocrinopathies including gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty, excessive growth hormone production and gigantism, hyperthyroidism, and hyperparathyroidism.
McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is characterized by polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, café-au-lait lesions, and a variety of endocrine disorders, including precocious puberty, hyperthyroidism, hypercortisolism, growth hormone excess, and hyperprolactinemia.
