Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD), a rare cause of corticotropin-independent Cushing syndrome, can be part of Carney complex (CNC), an autosomal dominant multiple neoplasia syndrome characterized by spotty skin pigmentation, cardiac myxomas, and endocrine tumors or be isolated (i). Germline PRKAR1A-inactivating mutations have been observed in both CNC and iPPNAD, but with no apparent genotype-phenotype correlation.
