Abstract
BackgroundMassive myocardial calcification is a very rare finding.IntroductionAccurate identification and characteriation may help the clinicians to determine the etiology and clinical significance.ResultsIn this case, the diagnostic pathway excluded previous myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and calcium‐phosphate disorders. A possible dystrophic etiology was considered.DiscussionThere are no standardized imaging features available to classify specific subtypes of intra‐myocardial calcifications. The relative merits of computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in providing complimentary diagnostic information in the evaluation of calcific myocardial lesions are shown.ConclusionKnowledge of the potential etiology and their imging patterns are important to provide a concise and accurate differential diagnosis.
