Calcified amorphous tumor of the heart is a rare non-neoplastic cardiac mass. The most common locations of this tumor are left ventricle and mitral valve. In the literature, there is no detailed information about cardiac calcified amorphous tumors because they are rare and generally asymptomatic. They are often confused with malignancy because of their calcific and amorphous ppearance. However, they may be symptomatic owing to obstruction or embolization. Here we discussed a patient with cardiac calcified amorphous tumor admitted with diplopia.
