The Importance of Cardiac Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus—Case Reports [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2022 Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a common pathology of the mitral valve. In rare cases, calcifications occur in the mitral annulus degenerate serous; the caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) then develops.

Rupture of Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Treatment [PDF]
DiagnosticsCaseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a liquefactive necrosis of mitral annular calcification (MAC). CCMA is rare and usually asymptomatic, has a benign course, and, when incidentally found, can be misdiagnosed as a thrombus, abscess ...

Caseous Intracardiac Calcification: A Diagnostic Enigma
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2019 Intramyocardial calcification is a rare phenomenon often only discovered on postmortem. We describe the case of a healthy 69-year-old lady diagnosed with idiopathic caseous intracardiac calcification extending from the mitral valve annulus.
