Abstract

Abstract Calcified amorphous tumors are extremely rare benign cardiac lesions that can emerge in any chamber, and have many clinical obscurities. We herein report a case of a mid-aged previously healthy male with a complaint of recurrent chest pain. Echocardiogram revealed the presence of right atrial mass that was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography. The patient underwent total resection of the mass with attached atrial wall. Pathological studies confirmed the diagnosis of calcified amorphous tumor. Five-year follow-up was uneventful with total symptomatic relief. In conclusion, we recommend considering the diagnosis of calcified amorphous tumors in any patient with intracardiac mass.
