MDCT aids noninvasive diagnosis of this rare benign mass; leaves open larger studies on prevalence and management.
Mallat et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (n=1). Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was evaluated. Multidetector computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis of caseous calcification of the mitral annulus, a rare intracardiac mass, in an 82-year-old woman.
