64-detector-row computed tomographic coronary angiography accidentally discovered a 2x1.8-cm heterogeneous mass consistent with caseous calcification of the mitral annulus in a 70-year-old woman.
Case Report (n=1)
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus should be included in the differential diagnosis of intracardiac masses on computed tomographic imaging.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant including caseous mitral annular calcification in CT mass differentials; single case leaves open validation of prevalence and significance.
Lubarsky et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (n=1). 64-detector-row computed tomographic coronary angiography was evaluated on Detection of caseous calcification of the mitral annulus. 64-detector-row computed tomographic coronary angiography accidentally discovered a 2x1.8-cm heterogeneous mass consistent with caseous calcification of the mitral annulus in a 70-year-old woman.
