Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We report an elderly woman with vascular risk factors and recurrent cardioembolic strokes in whom the stroke aetiology was finally ascertained to be a calcified amorphous tumour of the heart after repeated negative investigations for embolic aetiology over 2 years. This report discusses the clinical and imaging characteristics of calcified amorphous tumours of the heart with emphasis of recent advances in cardiac imaging.
