ABSTRACT
Cardiac calcified amorphous tumors (CATs) can arise in all four chambers of the heart. Cardiac CATs can cause diverse symptoms according to their locations, and mass or embolic effects. Pulmonary emboli arising from cardiac CATs have been reported, but the true incidence is unknown due to their rarity. Herein we report a rare case with diffuse CATs in the right ventricle which caused a calcific pulmonary embolism and right-sided heart failure. Echocardiography, chest non-contrast computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging helped us diagnose the CATs. We recommend the usefulness of a multimodality imaging approach to characterize intracardiac masses and their complications accurately.
