Abstract
Summary 1. A case of an extensively calcified mural thrombus in the left auricle in a patient suffering from mitral stenosis and confirmed by necropsy is presented. 2. The literature on the radiological demonstration of calcified thrombi in the left auricle and on left atrial calcification is reviewed. 3. The differential diagnosis of a calcified mural thrombus from other cardiac calcifications is briefly discussed. 4. The value of an over-penetrated film of the chest in cases of mitral stenosis is stressed. 5. It is suggested that it is difficult if not impossible to differentiate a large calcified mural thrombus in the left auricle from extensive endocardial calcification in the left auricle.
