Carney Complex (CNC) is a rare, multisystem disorder with diverse endocrine and non-endocrine manifestations. We describe a 31-year-old woman with genetically confirmed CNC who developed severe calcitriol-mediated hypercalcemia during suspected remission of Cushing's syndrome due to primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease. The patient had recently experienced multifocal ischemic strokes attributed to emboli from an atrial myxoma, followed by persistent nausea and vomiting. Laboratory evaluation revealed severe hypercalcemia (15.4 mg/dL) with suppressed parathyroid hormone (8.6 pg/mL; normal 14.0-72.0 pg/mL), normal PTHrP (1.3 pmol/L; normal ≤4.2 pmol/L), normal 25-hydroxyvitamin D (68 ng/mL; normal 30-100 ng/mL), and markedly elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (107 pg/mL; normal 20-79 pg/mL). Imaging showed bilateral pulmonary ground-glass opacities raising suspicion for a granulomatous process suggesting extra-renal calcitriol production; however, infectious and autoimmune workups were negative. Twenty-four-hour urinary cortisol levels, previously elevated at 60 mcg/24h, declined to 6.2 mcg/24h, suggesting temporary remission of Cushing's syndrome. Her hypercalcemia resolved with hydrocortisone and zoledronic acid, and she maintained eucalcemia on continued glucocorticoid therapy after atrial myxoma excision. This case illustrates a novel endocrine interaction in CNC, where suppression of cortisol may unmask calcitriol-driven hypercalcemia, a phenomenon typically associated with granulomatous disease. Recognition of this pattern may inform surveillance strategies in patients with fluctuating cortisol states.
Carney Complex (CNC) is a rare autosomal dominant multiple neoplasia syndrome characterized by a constellation of dermatologic, cardiac, endocrine, and neural manifestations.[1] Fewer than 750 cases have been reported worldwide.[2] Inactivating variants of PRKAR1A, which encodes the type 1A regulatory subunit of protein kinase A,[3,4] are responsible for more than 70% of familial cases and 30% of sporadic cases.[1]
The clinical manifestations of CNC are diverse and typically include spotty skin pigmentation such as lentigines and blue nevi, which often present early in life; cardiac myxomas and benign mucocutaneous myxomas are common, typically developing at a young age and potentially causing embolic events or cardiac dysfunction.[5] Endocrine overactivity is a key component of CNC, most notably primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD), which leads to Cushing’s syndrome in approximately 25% of patients.[1,6] PPNAD demonstrates significant variability in cortisol secretion patterns, with individuals experiencing persistent overproduction, cyclical or fluctuating cortisol levels, subclinical hypercortisolism or silent PPNAD with normal laboratory values and absent clinical symptoms.[7] Inactivating mutations in the PRKAR1A gene lead to unregulated activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway which drives adrenocortical cell proliferation and excess cortisol synthesis.[8]
Additional endocrine manifestations include pituitary adenomas producing growth hormone, thyroid nodules in up to 75% of patients, and large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumors in males. Schwannomas, specifically psammomatous melanotic variants, occur in around 10% of cases.[1]
Our purpose is to present a case of calcitriol-mediated hypercalcemia in a patient with CNC, that became evident during suspected remission of Cushing’s syndrome.
A 31-year-old woman with a known diagnosis of CNC was transferred to our institution for evaluation of recurrent, worsening hypercalcemia. Her medical history was notable for a pathogenic PRKAR1A gene mutation consistent with Carney complex. Clinical manifestations included lentigines, dermal myxomas identified in early childhood, spinal schwannomas, atrial myxomas, and Cushing's syndrome. Approximately three months prior to this presentation, she experienced multifocal ischemic strokes attributed to emboli from an atrial myxoma, resulting in residual partial aphasia. Around the same time, she developed persistent intractable nausea and vomiting, contributing to poor oral intake and progressive volume depletion.
About four weeks prior to her most recent admission, she was hospitalized at our center for an initial episode of documented hypercalcemia. Calcium levels documented in the six years preceding this hospitalization were consistently within normal limits, with the highest value recorded as 10.1 mg/dL (Reference range [RR], 8.6 - 10.5 mg/dL). Laboratory testing revealed a corrected serum calcium of 12.6 mg/dL and an ionized calcium of 6.3 mg/dL (RR, 4.60 - 5.30 mg/dL). Her intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level was suppressed at <6>
Despite treatment, nausea and poor oral intake persisted. She represented to an outside emergency department with recurrent emesis and was transferred to our hospital. On arrival, she appeared volume-depleted and fatigued. Her blood pressure was 143/91 mmHg and heart rate 93 bpm. Laboratory testing revealed a markedly elevated corrected calcium of 15.4 mg/dL and ionized calcium of 7.8 mg/dL. Electrolyte abnormalities included hypokalemia (2.7 mmol/L, RR, 3.5 - 5.0 mmol/L), hypomagnesemia (1.4 mg/dL, RR, 1.6 - 2.6 mg/dL), and acute kidney injury with a creatinine of 2.62 mg/dL (baseline 0.6 mg/dL, RR, 0.50 - 1.20 mg/dL). Phosphorus was normal at 2.4 mg/dL (RR, 2.2 - 4.6 mg/dL). Endocrinology was consulted to evaluate and treat this patient’s severe hypercalcemia. Endocrine evaluation showed persistent iPTH suppression (8.6 pg/mL) and a normal PTHrP (1.3 pmol/L, RR, < or>Lab Value Reference Range Corrected calcium 15.4 mg/dL 8.6-10.5 mg/dL Ionized calcium 7.8 mg/dL 4.6-5.3 mg/dL 24-hour Urine calcium 1,549.5 mg/24 hours 100.0-300.0 mg/24 hours 1,25OHD 107.0 pg/ml 20.0-79.0 pg/ml 25-OHD 68.2 pg/ml 30.0-100.0 pg/ml iPTH 8.6 pg/ml 14.0-72.0 pg/ml PTHrP 1.3 pmol/L <4> CTX 4,273 pg/ml 150-635 pg/ml P1NP 222 mcg/L 19-83 mcg/L ACE 50 U/L 16-85 U/L 24-hour urine cortisol 6.2 mcg/24 hours 3.5-45 mcg/24 hours IL-6 11 pg/ml <6>
Table 1: Key laboratory Findings: 25-OHD = 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the major circulating form of vitamin D; 1,25OHD = 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D; iPTH = intact parathyroid hormone; PTHrP = parathyroid hormone-related peptide; CTX = C-terminal telopeptide; P1NP = procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide; ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; IL-6 = interleukin-6.
She was treated with 2 litres of normal saline and calcitonin 300 International units every 12 hours for 4 doses, while further evaluation for the etiology of her hypercalcemia was pursued.[9] Bone turnover markers were elevated, including procollagen type 1 propeptide of 222 mcg/L (RR, 19-83 mcg/L), C-terminal telopeptide, 4273 pg/mL (RR, 150-635 pg/ml), and osteocalcin, 85 ng/mL (RR, 9-42 ng/mL). Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry scan performed three months earlier demonstrated osteopenia with a T-score of -2.0 in the left femoral neck. Urinary calcium excretion was quite elevated, at 1550 mg per 24 hours (RR, 100.0-300.0 mg/24 hours) and a calcium-to-creatinine ratio above 0.155 (RR, <0>
Given the elevated calcitriol and suppressed iPTH, a granulomatous process was suspected. As part of outpatient follow-up for her recently diagnosed atrial myxoma, she had undergone cardiac computed tomography (CT) imaging, which incidentally revealed a filling defect in the inferior vena cava. This prompted further evaluation with a CT angiogram of the abdomen and pelvis, which unexpectedly revealed ground-glass opacities in the bilateral posterior lung fields, the largest nodule measuring 8 mm. Due to this finding, infectious workup was pursued during her hospitalization including serologies for tuberculosis (Quantiferon), histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, and Bartonella, which returned negative.[10,11] Granulomatous diseases such as sarcoidosis were considered; however, her serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was normal at 50 U/L (RR, 16-85 U/L). Due to concerns about radiation exposure, the patient and her family declined a dedicated chest CT, which would have evaluated for features of sarcoidosis such as hilar adenopathy and pulmonary nodules. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) was measured to assess for myxoma-associated hypercalcemia and was found to be modestly elevated at 11 pg/mL (RR, <6>
Further diagnostic considerations were complicated by her history of Cushing's syndrome. Prior testing for Cushing's syndrome consisted of a 24-hour urinary free cortisol of 60 mcg/24h 4 months prior to admission, and late-night salivary cortisol testing was elevated at 490 ng/dL and 709 ng/dL (reference range <100>
She was treated with 4 mg of intravenous zoledronic acid for hypercalcemia and monitored closely.[9] Her symptoms improved and serum calcium gradually normalized. She was discharged with weekly metabolic panel monitoring. At outpatient follow-up, her corrected calcium had decreased to 9.4 mg/dL. She completed excision of left atrial myxoma, and eucalcemia was maintained on glucocorticoid therapy.
Given concerns that prolonged hypercortisolism from PPNAD could lead to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression, as observed in other forms of adrenal Cushing's syndrome, empiric glucocorticoid replacement therapy was continued.[13] Three months after initiating hydrocortisone, the patient experienced rapid weight gain of >40 pounds, concerning for recurrence of Cushing’s syndrome. Hydrocortisone was tapered and ultimately discontinued four months post-discharge. Follow-up laboratory evaluation after discontinuation revealed an elevated 24-hour urinary free cortisol of 128 mcg/24 h (RR, 3.5–45 mcg/24 h), a persistently suppressed ACTH level of <5>
An unusual and clinically significant feature in this case was the development of severe hypercalcemia, a finding not typically characteristic of CNC. Multiple etiologies were explored to determine the cause of her hypercalcemia. One known cause of hypercalcemia in patients with cardiac myxomas can be through the overexpression of IL-6 mRNA in myxoma cells.[14] IL-6 leads to hypercalcemia by stimulating osteoclast activity, increasing bone resorption and release of calcium into the bloodstream. The production of IL-6 by myxoma cells is regulated through the activation of STAT3 and Akt pathways that create an autocrine loop that perpetuates the cycle of IL-6 secretion. Removal of the myxoma typically leads to a reduction in IL-6 and resolution of hypercalcemia.[15,16] Additionally, this process is largely independent of calcitriol, making it a less likely explanation given the elevated calcitriol level of 107 pg/mL.
Our patient's hypercalcemia appeared to be mediated by elevated levels of calcitriol with suppressed iPTH consistent with calcitriol-driven PTH-independent hypercalcemia. This form of hypercalcemia is classically associated with granulomatous diseases such as sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, where extra-renal, activated macrophages overexpress 1α-hydroxylase, bypassing normal regulatory mechanisms and producing excess calcitriol.[17] Our patient's 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D level of 107 pg/mL represents a moderate elevation above the normal range (20-79 pg/mL). In a systematic cohort study of 101 patients with calcitriol-mediated hypercalcemia, Donovan et al. found that while calcitriol levels were consistently elevated above normal, extreme elevations >120 pg/mL (>300 pmol/L) were more characteristic of non-sarcoid etiologies such as malignancy and infection, rather than sarcoidosis.[18] Our patient's level of 107 pg/mL falls within the range typically observed in granulomatous diseases like sarcoidosis, supporting our clinical suspicion of an occult granulomatous process. Although infectious and autoimmune workup was negative in our patient, imaging revealed multiple pulmonary nodules with ground-glass opacities, raising suspicion for an occult granulomatous or inflammatory process. Despite a normal serum ACE level, sarcoidosis remains a consideration, as ACE levels are highly specific but insensitive for sarcoidosis and may be normal in up to 40% of cases.[19,20]
Cushing’s syndrome in CNC occurs due to autonomous cortisol production from the adrenal glands in individuals with PPNAD.[6] Hypercortisolism in PPNAD can be overt, subclinical, cyclic, or atypical. In affected individuals, the adrenal glands show multiple small pigmented cortical micronodules measuring 1-4 mm, composed of eosinophilic cells, with some cells containing lipopigment. These nodules secrete cortisol independent of ACTH. Most patients with classic Cushing’s syndrome have inactivating mutations in the PRKAR1A gene, leading to unregulated activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway which drives adrenocortical cell proliferation and excess cortisol synthesis.[8] A retrospective study at Mayo Clinic showed significant variability in cortisol secretion patterns, with individuals experiencing persistent overproduction, cyclical or fluctuating cortisol levels, subclinical hypercortisolism, silent PPNAD with no biochemical or clinical evidence, or spontaneous remission.[7] This variability in cortisol production was attributed to heterogeneity in the micronodules, with some being overactive while others were normoactive or low-activity. Due to the patchy distribution and intermittent function of adrenal nodules, cortisol levels can fluctuate significantly, and standard testing may be inconclusive.
Our patient demonstrated biochemical evidence of temporary remission of Cushing’s syndrome, with a significant decline in urinary cortisol to near adrenal insufficiency thresholds during her hospitalization compared to values obtained months prior. This shift in cortisol status appeared to coincide with the development of severe hypercalcemia. Cortisol deficiency itself is an uncommon cause of hypercalcemia.[21] Mechanisms include hypovolemia leading to decreased glomerular filtration rate, decreased filtration of calcium, increased proximal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increased 1-alpha hydroxylase activity. However, this alone would not explain the markedly elevated calcitriol level seen in our patient. It is likely that the decline in endogenous cortisol allowed previously suppressed calcitriol-mediated hypercalcemia to emerge. Glucocorticoids have profound effects on calcium metabolism; while cortisol excess promotes hypercalciuria and can blunt hypercalcemia, cortisol deficiency may enhance calcium retention and increase 1α-hydroxylase activity.[22] Therefore, transient remission of Cushing’s syndrome in our patient could have facilitated unopposed calcitriol activity leading to hypercalcemia. This phenomenon has been observed in other clinical scenarios, such as calcitriol-mediated hypercalcemia being precipitated by reduction or discontinuation of glucocorticoids.[23,24] A similar pattern is observed in patients with renal sarcoidosis when their steroid dose is tapered too quickly or their steroid maintenance dose is not continued for a sufficient duration.[25] Glucocorticoids not only reduce the activity of extra-renal 1-alpha hydroxylase but also decrease gastrointestinal reabsorption of calcium.[22] Therefore, without sufficient steroids (either endogenously produced or exogenously administered), relapses of hypercalcemia can occur.[25]
To our knowledge, hypercalcemia as described in this case is not a recognized feature of Carney Complex.[6] This case is novel in demonstrating unmasked calcitriol-mediated hypercalcemia coinciding with altered cortisol production due to primary PPNAD. It highlights an unreported endocrine interaction within CNC and reinforces the atypical presentation patterns of PPNAD-related Cushing’s syndrome. These findings support the need for further investigation into the dynamic endocrine physiology of Carney Complex and its potential contribution to hypercalcemia
This case highlights a previously unreported manifestation in CNC: severe calcitriol-mediated hypercalcemia that emerged with the remission of Cushing’s syndrome. This presents an important clinical consideration for physicians managing patients with Carney Complex, particularly during periods of fluctuating cortisol levels. Recognition of this unique presentation broadens the spectrum of possible complications in Carney Complex and emphasizes the need for comprehensive and multidisciplinary surveillance and management.
