    Calcified amorphous tumor is a non-neoplastic tumor or intracavitary cardiac mass which is rarely seen in heart. It is frequently associated with left ventricle and mitral valve. Clinical symptoms varies from asymptomatic status to serious neurological and cardiopulmonary symptoms. Imaging studies such as echocardiography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging can reveal the mass preoperatively, although the exact diagnosis is done by pathological inspection of the specimen. Follow-up is recommended by echocardiography after surgical treatment due to its recurrence potential. Herein, we present a mass attached to the mitral valve posterior leaflet causing rather silent symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue on exertion.
