Imaging findings
A chest radiograph shows a funny calcification on the right, in the region of the tricuspid valve. An abdominal CT shows mitral annular calcification and what appears to be tricuspid annular calcification, which is described as linear and crescent-like, resembling a pleural plaque.
Key takeaways
Tricuspid annular calcification (TAC) is a rare finding; the presenter and other radiologists had never seen it. The case involved a 47- or 49-year-old patient with renal failure, suggesting a possible metabolic etiology for the calcification.
