Caseous mitral annulus calcification: A forgotten benign condition mimicking cardiac mass, a case report
We report the case of a patient, previously treated for breast cancer, in whom echocardiography suggested the diagnosis of a cardiac tumor due the presence of a mass on the posterior mitral annulus. Cardiac magnetic resonance was inconclusive. Computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis of caseous mitral annulus calcification.
