Core Tip
Core tip: Carney complex (CNC) is a very rare disease which is often misdiagnosed because of its diverse clinical characteristics. The imaging features of bone lesions in two cases have been summarized in this paper. Recognition of some special clinical manifestations and imaging features may help with the diagnosis; the prognosis of CNC may thus be improved by early treatment.
