Approach to An Unusual Cardiac Mass: Mitral Annulus Caseoma
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is known to be a rare variant of mitral annulus calcification, a chronic and degenerative process of the mitral valve fibrous ring. It usually carries a benign prognosis.

Left Atrial Pseudotumor Caused By Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus, Case Report with Review of Literature [PDF]
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare form of periannular calcification, occurring in 0.06% of all echocardiographic studies and in 0.63% of all patients with mitral annular calcification.

Mitral annulus calcification and sudden death
Mitral valve annulus calcification is a degenerative cardiac condition often found at autopsy in the elderly. While usually considered incidental to the cause of death, we report two cases where mitral valve annulus calcification with valve stenosis was ...
