We describe a mosaic PRKACA duplication in a young infant who presented with a Carney-like complex: bilateral non-pigmented micronodular adrenal hyperplasia, severe early-onset Cushing's syndrome, and distinct acral soft tissue overgrowth due to cutaneous mucinosis. This represents a novel manifestation of PRKACA disruption and broadens the extra-adrenal phenotype of PRKACA-associated Cushing's syndrome. Our data suggest that Cushing's syndrome phenotypes arising from somatic and germline PRKACA abnormalities can exist on a spectrum. We emphasise the value of ascertaining a genetic diagnosis for PRKACA-mediated adrenal and extra-adrenal disease to guide individualised and targeted care.
