Two cases of calcified amorphous tumor mimicking mitral valve vegetation.
The term cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) was coined in 1997 by Reynolds et al,1 who described 11 cases with nonneoplastic cardiac masses characterized by a pedicle and diffuse calcification. Additionally, CAT could originate in any of the 4 chambers. Once the mass is excised, its unique histological features such as the presence of calcified nodules in an amorphous background of fibrin ...

cases of successful surgical excision have been reported,1 little is known about the precise mechanism of disease progression. Histology indicated the presence of chronic inflammation in the CAT in some studies,2 but the time course of changes in alcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is a rare non-neoplastic cardiac mass characterized by nodular calcification in an amorphous background of fibrin with ...

A 44-year–old previously healthy man presented with progressive shortness of breath on exertion. Chest x-ray showed clear lung fields, but dense calcification was noted within the cardiac silhouette. Sixty-four–detector row cardiac computed tomographic angiography revealed diffuse calcific infiltration of the left ventricular (LV) myocardium, which also involved the papillary muscles and mitral...
