Clinicians should consider CCMA in differentials for annular masses with dynamic obstruction; extends sparse case reports but leaves management questions open.
Case Report (n=1)
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is a rare variant that can mimic an intracardiac tumor and cause dynamic LVOT obstruction.
Chahal et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (n=1). Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus was evaluated. Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus, a rare variant with an estimated prevalence of 0.068%, can present as a heterogeneous echodensity mimicking a cardiac tumor and cause dynamic LVOT obstruction.
