Abstract

Calcified amorphous tumor is a non-neoplastic tumor orintracavitary cardiac mass which is rarely seen in heart. Itis frequently associated with left ventricle and mitral valve.Clinical symptoms varies from asymptomatic status to seriousneurological and cardiopulmonary symptoms. Imaging studiessuch as echocardiography, computed tomography, or magneticresonance imaging can reveal the mass preoperatively, althoughthe exact diagnosis is done by pathological inspection of thespecimen. Follow-up is recommended by echocardiographyafter surgical treatment due to its recurrence potential. Herein,we present a mass attached to the mitral valve posterior leafletcausing rather silent symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue onexertion.

Özet

Kalsifiye amorf tümör, kalpte nadir olarak görülen bir nonneoplastik tümör veya intrakaviter kardiyak kitledir. Sıklıkla sol ventrikül ve mitral kapak ile ilişkilidir. Klinik semptomlar asemptomatik durumdan ciddi nörolojik ve kardiyopulmoner semptomlara kadar çeşitlilik gösterir. Kitle ameliyat öncesinde ekokardiyografi, bilgisayarlı tomografi veya manyetik rezonans görüntüleme gibi görüntüleme çalışmaları ile gösterilebilse de, kesin tanı numunenin patolojik olarak incelenmesi ile konur. Tekrarlama olasılığı nedeniyle cerrahi tedavi sonrasında ekokardiyografi ile takip önerilmektedir. Bu yazıda mitral kapağın arka yaprakçığı ile ilişkili olan, eforla birlikte dispne ve yorgunluk gibi nispeten sessiz semptomlara neden olan bir kitle sunuldu.
