Abstract
Endomyocardial fibrosis is an endemic cardiac disease, characterized by the presence of fibrous tissue in the endocardium, eventually extending to the myocardium. Massive endocardial calcification of the left ventricle is a rare finding, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We reported a first case of biventricular massive endocardial calcification associated with endomyocardial fibrosis in a 22 year old woman.
