A Waving Horn on the Big Mitral Annulus Calcification: Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus with Abscess Formation [PDF]

Journal of Medical Ultrasound, 2014
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare variant of mitral annular calcification. It comprises a combination of calcium, fatty acids, and cholesterol, and is characterized by heterogeneity in echocardiographic images, with peripheral ...

The Importance of Cardiac Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus—Case Reports

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.

Caseous mitral annulus calcification: A forgotten benign condition mimicking cardiac mass, a case report [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message Caseous mitral annulus calcification is a rare benign condition that can be misdiagnosed on echocardiography especially when it presents as a mass. This report highlights the contribution of cardiac MRI and computed tomography to the
