Abstract

Calcified amorphous tumors (CATs) of the heart are rare non-neoplastic cardiac masses primarily found in the mitral valve or annulus. However, their exact pathogenesis remains unknown. In this case report, we describe the CT and MRI findings and differentiating features of cardiac a CAT in the left atrium of a 79-year-old female.

심장에 발생하는 무정형 석회화 종양은 드문 비종양성 종괴로 승모판막 또는 승모판막 고리에 가장 흔하게 발생하며 정확한 발생 원인은 알려져 있지 않다. 본 증례 보고에서는 79세 여성의 좌심방 심방중격에 발생한 무정형 석회화 종양의 CT와 MRI 영상 소견과 감별진단에 관하여 이야기하고자 한다.
