Abstract
- A cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is a rare non-neoplastic mass of the heart with histological characteristics comprising calcification and amorphous fibrous material. Little is known regarding the incidence, symptoms, and therapeutic strategies for CAT. Echocardiography and computed tomography were performed on a 48-year-old man who had a cardiac mass that was accidentally discovered on admission to a local hospital for a fracture related to a trauma that occurred 1 month prior. After surgery, a histological examination resulted in the diagnosis of a cardiac CAT. The patient was discharged without postoperative complications on the 12th day after surgery.
