The Carney complex, also known as Carney syndrome, NAME syndrome and LAMB syndrome, is a bunch of things that occur together due to some genetic problem.[1] It should not be confused with the Carney triad.
NAME and LAMB are acronyms that were proposed later.[2]
In addition to the elements in NAME and LAMB, it includes:

- Pronounced e-FEE-le-DEEs.[7]
LAMB
LAMB:
- Lentigines.
- Focal melanocyte hyperplasia.
- Atrial myxomas.
