Abstract
Cardiac amorphous tumors (CATs) were earlier considered
as calcified thrombi and later described as rare benign primary
tumors. CAT has mostly been observed as a single mass in previous cases. In the present case report, a 62-year-old male patient
was diagnosed with CATs in the left and right atria.
The patient had a history of hypertension and presented to
our clinic with dyspnea. He did not have a history of known rena failure and embolic phenomenon. Electrocardiogram revealed
atrial fibrillation. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed normal
left ventricular systolic function and a mobile mass with partial
calcification attached to the left atrium (LA) (Fig. 1a).
