Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus: Calcified Toothpaste of the Heart.

Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare variant of mitral annular calcification (MAC) usually described as an antemortem finding. We report a case of sudden cardiac arrest in a 39-year-old male with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis with a history of Fabry disease by kidney biopsy. Autopsy revealed significant circumferential annular calcification in both mitral and aortic valves with a caseous gross appearance.
