Multimodality imaging may avert misdiagnosis of benign masses; this case extends the imaging spectrum of caseous mitral annular degeneration but remains hypothesis-generating.
Frittella et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Caseous-calcific myocardial involvement mimicking a cardiac mass (n=1). Multimodality imaging (Echocardiography, CMR, Cardiac CT) was evaluated on Diagnosis of caseous mitral annular degeneration with intramyocardial extension. Multimodality imaging identified an unusual presentation of caseous mitral annular degeneration with intramyocardial extension mimicking a cardiac mass in a 73-year-old asymptomatic woman.
