“…The present case was unique in that CAT was located adjacent to the interatrial septum. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of CAT attached to the interatrial septum have been reported before, including a 78‐year‐old man presenting with exertional dyspnea, a 70‐year‐old Korean woman presenting with cerebral infarction, and an asymptomatic 74‐year‐old woman, similar to our case.…”

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.

“…Some type of myxoma may calcified; hence, adequate tissue processing and sampling is essential to exclude underlying myxoma. 9 Non endocarditis vegetation’s due to auto immune disease are intimately associated with valve leaflets and may rarely calcified. Calcified echinococcosis can be diagnosed by the identification of the cyst wall and presences of scolices.…”

A calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) of the right atrium (RA) is an exceedingly rare non-neoplastic cardiac mass. It was initially described in 1997 and only a handful of cases has been published so far. We present a case of tumor in 77-year-old male, in the RA that attached to the rim of the fossa ovalis, with classic pathological and clinical findings. Under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and bicaval and aortic cannulation and cardioplegic arrest, right atrial mass, was resected and septal defect was repaired with a fresh pericardial patch. Pathological exam of the mass revealed CAT. The patient had an uneventful hospitalization and his blue discoloration of finger recovered normally.
