Macroscopic appearance and histological examination of the calcified mass excised from the posterior mitral valve leaflet. Macroscopic appearance of the calcified mass excised from the posterior mitral valve leaflet (A). Histological examination revealed multiple nodular calcifications (white arrow heads) surrounded by fibrous connective tissue (hematoxylin-eosin stain, original magnification × 2) (B), dense fibrin (black arrow heads; hematoxylin-eosin stain, original magnification × 20) (C), and focal infiltration of inflammatory cells, predominantly plasma cells and lymphocytes, adjacent to the calcification (black arrows; hematoxylin-eosin stain, original magnification × 20) (D).
