Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) – A rare mimicker of a cardiac mass
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a less common variant of mitral annulus calcification mimicking an intracardiac mass. The caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is a harmless benign entity that is an infrequent and incidental finding. Awareness about the condition is a mus...

description | Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a less common variant of mitral annulus calcification mimicking an intracardiac mass. The caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is a harmless benign entity that is an infrequent and incidental finding. Awareness about the condition is a must to avoid misinterpretations leading to unnecessary investigations and interventions. Therefore, here we present a case of CCMA diagnosed through different radiological modalities such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and multidetector computed tomography. |
