Abstract :
Cardiac calcified amorphous tumors (CATs) are an extremely rare nonneoplastic intracardiac masses. They have been reported in
the literature in only a few cases. Thus, the incidence, pathogenesis, and best approach to the treatment are not certain. We report a
case of CATs on the atrial surface of the anterior mitral valve leaflet in a 37-year-old female who was diagnosed by histopathological
examination after surgical removal.
