A mitral annulus calcification-related calcified amorphous tumour presented on echocardiography as a highly mobile, hyperechoic mass trapped by the closing aortic valve.
Case report describing the echocardiographic identification of a highly mobile, hyperechoic, spindle-shaped tumour in the left ventricle related to mitral annular calcification.
An 85-year-old woman with chronic kidney disease was referred to us for the examination of a tumour in the left ventricle that was not observed 2 years earlier. She was afebrile associated with negative blood cultures.
