Multimodality imaging of a left atrial calcified amorphous tumor.

A cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is an extremely rare non-neoplastic cardiac mass composed of calcium nodules in an amorphous background of fibrin materials. Herein, we report a case of CAT in the left atrium of an asymptomatic 72-year-old man who underwent multimodality imaging and successful resection of the CAT. Results of the present case suggest that multimodality imaging plays an important role in detecting cardiac CAT, determining the treatment plan and serial follow-ups for the patients after the treatment.
