Why the study?
Mitral annular calcification may transform to liquefaction necrosis, a rare variant of caseous mitral annular calcification with varying manifestations.
A multimodal imaging approach utilizing echocardiography, CT, and CMR is essential for accurately diagnosing caseous mitral annular calcification and differentiating it from other potentially malignant or infectious cardiac masses.

May support multimodal imaging for CMAC differentiation; leaves open prospective validation of dynamic evolution.
