From Mitral Annular Calcification to Calcified Amorphous Tumor
Calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is characterized as a non-neoplastic calcified, cardiac mass. A CAT is sometimes detected adjacent to a mitral annular calcification (MAC), suggesting its association with MAC. A 75-year-old woman with known history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea. Echocardiography showed MAC, left atrial enlargement and left ventric...
متن کاملSurgical removal of calcified amorphous tumor localized to mitral valve leaflet without mitral annular calcification
A cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) localized to the mitral valve leaflet without mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a rare entity. We report a case of a 69-year-old woman with such a condition, who underwent successful excision of the tumor and mitral valvuloplasty using a glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium. During 38 months of follow-up, no recurrence of a cardiac mass has...
متن کاملCalcified amorphous tumor of the heart with mitral annular calcification: a case report
BACKGROUND Calcified amorphous tumor of the heart is a rare, non-neoplastic cardiac mass characterized by nodular calcium in the background of amorphous degenerating fibrinous material. Clinical diagnosis of calcified amorphous tumor can be difficult, and current single imaging techniques do not specifically differentiate calcified amorphous tumor from other cardiac tumors such as calcified atr...
متن کاملMitral and aortic annular calcification are highly associated with systemic calcified atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis has been implicated as a cause of valvular calcification. The aim of this study was to determine whether atherosclerotic calcification in multiple vascular areas is significantly associated with aortic or mitral annular calcification independent of traditional risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1242 consecutive asymptomatic patients free of clinical corona...
متن کاملLarge Caseous Mitral Annular Calcification
A 68-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnea, angina, and syncope. She was undergoing renal dialysis (3 times weekly, for one year) and was taking nifedipine for hypertension. Laboratory results suggested secondary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia. Auscultation revealed a severe systolic murmur at the left upper parasternal border and a moderate diastolic murmur at the cardiac ape...
