Abstract EN

Cardiac calcified amorphous tumors (CATs) are an extremely rare nonneoplastic intracardiac masses.

They have been reported in the literature in only a few cases.

Thus, the incidence, pathogenesis, and best approach to the treatment are not certain.

We report a case of CATs on the atrial surface of the anterior mitral valve leaflet in a 37-year-old female who was diagnosed by histopathological examination after surgical removal.
