Abstract

Cardiac-calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is a rare non-neoplastic tumor and its origin and pathogenesis are still unclear. In addition, it is difficult to clinically diagnose as cardiac CAT without pathological findings. We present a case of a 78-year-male diagnosed with cardiac CAT after surgical resection. We could evaluate tumor aspects by multimodal imaging including echocardiography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance image, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/CT before surgery.
