  • Abstract
    Intramyocardial calcification is a rare phenomenon often only discovered on postmortem. We describe the case of a healthy 69- year-old lady diagnosed with idiopathic caseous intracardiac calcification extending from the mitral valve annulus. We present high-quality images and propose an investigatory template for future cases.
