title: Cardiac imaging in the evaluation of mitral annulus caseous calcification.
abstract: The current case report illustrates a comprehensive assessment with different imaging techniques, as echocardiography, magnetic resonance and computer tomography, of a rare cardiac mass known as caseous calcification of mitral annulus. Transesophageal echocardiography was able to identify and characterize the caseous calcification of mitral annulus.
