Population
Patients with end-stage renal disease presenting with mitral annular calcification-related calcified amorphous tumors (MAC-related CATs)

Awareness of MAC-related calcified amorphous tumors in ESRD patients is crucial to prevent unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Cite This Study

Sadeghpour et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Mitral Annular Calcification-Related Calcified Amorphous Tumor in End-Stage Renal Disease. MAC-related calcified amorphous tumors are rare, non-neoplastic cardiac masses associated with end-stage renal disease that can present with symptoms ranging from dyspnea to systemic embolization.
