Abstract

Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a common echocardiographic finding. Caseous calcification is a rare variant appearing as a round, tumor-like mass with central echolucent area located in the periannular region. Although occasionally misdiagnosed as a tumor and submitted to exploratory cardiotomy, this lesion appears to carry a benign prognosis. The true significance of caseous calcification is unknown; it might be an early and reversible stage of MAC or an atheroma-like lesion. We describe a case of caseous calcification with spontaneous resolution in a 60-year-old woman-such a finding should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intracardiac masses.

摘要

二尖瓣环钙化(MAC)是一种常见的超声心动图表现。干酪样钙化是一种罕见的变异形式,表现为圆形、肿瘤样肿块,中央为无回声区,位于瓣环周围区域。尽管偶尔会被误诊为肿瘤并接受开胸探查,但这种病变似乎预后良好。干酪样钙化的真正意义尚不清楚;它可能是MAC的早期且可逆阶段或类似动脉粥样硬化的病变。我们描述了一例60岁女性干酪样钙化自发消退的病例——在心脏内肿块的鉴别诊断中应考虑到这样的发现。
