Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a less common variant of mitral annulus calcification mimicking an intracardiac mass. The caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is a harmless benign entity that is an infrequent and incidental finding. Awareness about the condition is a must to avoid misinterpretations leading to unnecessary investigations and interventions. Therefore, here we present a case of CCMA diagnosed through different radiological modalities such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and multidetector computed tomography.
二尖瓣环干酪样钙化(CCMA)是二尖瓣环钙化的一种较罕见变体,可模仿心内肿块。二尖瓣环干酪样钙化是一种无害的良性病变,是一种罕见的偶然发现。必须了解这种情况,以避免导致不必要检查和干预的误解。因此,我们在此介绍一例通过心脏磁共振成像和多排螺旋计算机断层扫描等不同放射学检查手段诊断出的二尖瓣环干酪样钙化病例。
