Dystrophic calcification of fetal myocardium: a case report.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:A diagnosis of myocardial dystrophic calcification, a rare cause of fetal cardiac masses, is presented. METHODS:The fetal echocardiography of a 26-year-old pregnant woman who was referred to the Pediatric Cardiology Department at 20 weeks' gestation revealed an echogenic mass in the post wall of the left ventricle. RESULTS:The pregnancy was terminated. The histopathology of the necropsy material revealed dystrophic calcification. CONCLUSION:The dystrophic calcification of myocardium must be kept in mind in prenatal differential diagnosis of intracardiac masses for patient management and genetic counseling.
