Calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is a rare, mostly incidental tumor-like cardiac lesion of unknown histogenesis. Current imaging modalities do not differentiate between CAT and other masses. As it can be a source for embolization, surgical excision of CAT is mandatory.

Background: Early chick mortality (ECM) is one of the most important problems of the poultry industry that causes severe economic losses to the farmers. The chick mortality varies in different geographical locations and its etiological factor also varies.
Aim: The aim of the present work was to isolate and identify various etiological agents responsible for causing ECM in broilers, and study the overall occurrence and pathology of various disease conditions responsible for causing ECM in broilers.

Background: Calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) of the heart is a rare, non-neoplastic cardiac mass with mitral valves and annuli being the most common sites. The presence of mitral annular calcification (MAC) is associated with an increased risk of stroke or other systemic embolisms. Here, we report a case of CAT showing rapid growth with MAC and investigate the link between the two.

Article Synopsis
- Calcified amorphous tumors of the heart are rare, non-cancerous masses made up of calcified nodules and fibrous tissue, often linked to conditions like mitral annular calcification, especially in patients with kidney issues.
- A case study of a 77-year-old woman with lung cancer revealed a tumor in her heart, which was surgically removed and identified as a calcified amorphous tumor, despite her normal kidney function.
- The findings imply that there may be a connection between calcified amorphous tumors and cancer, potentially due to alterations in blood coagulation from the malignancy.
