Endomyocardial fibrosis with massive endocardial calcific deposits

Massive endocardial calcific deposits in the left ventricular chamber is such an uncommon lesion that only three cases have been reported previously. This report describes an apparently asymptomatic patient with endomyocardial fibrosis and massive endocardial calcific deposits. The results of electrocardiography, echocardiography, angiography, and endomyocardial biopsy findings are presented, and the pathogenesis of massive endocardial calcification is speculated upon. The interesting point is that the clinical history and manifestation of this patient suggests that endomyocardial fibrosis may occur in a benign form and long-term survival may be expected.
