A 55-year-old male presented with severe mitral valve stenosis that was caused by a rare condition called caseous calcification of mitral valve annulus (CCMA). The condition was provisionally diagnosed by multi-imaging modalities, and the diagnosis was further established by histopathology. The patient required surgical excision of CCMA and mitral valve replacement. In addition, this patient exhibited a classical picture of another rare condition called familial multiple lipomatosis (FML). No such associations have been reported between the two rare conditions of CCMA and FML. Rare pathologies such as CCMA should be considered in the deferential diagnosis of calcified mass involving mitral valve annulus with or without valvular dysfunction.
一名55岁男性因一种名为二尖瓣环干酪样钙化(CCMA)的罕见病症导致严重二尖瓣狭窄前来就诊。该病症通过多种影像学检查手段初步诊断,并经组织病理学进一步确诊。患者需要手术切除CCMA并进行二尖瓣置换。此外,该患者还表现出另一种罕见病症——家族性多发性脂肪瘤病(FML)的典型症状。CCMA和FML这两种罕见病症之间尚未有此类关联的报道。在鉴别诊断涉及二尖瓣环钙化肿块伴或不伴瓣膜功能障碍时,应考虑如CCMA这样的罕见病理情况。
