  Figure 1 An ovoid mass near left side of the aorta in chest X-ray (arrow heads) (A). A condensed calcified mass located on LMCA (arrow) in horizontal section (B) and coronal section (C) of chest CT. Diagnostic CAG demonstrated a severe stenosis of distal portion of LMCA (arrows) surrounded by the calcified mass (arrow heads) on RAO (D) and LAO (E) view.LMCA = left main coronary artery; CT = computed tomography; CAG = coronary angiography; RAO = right anterior oblique; LAO = left anterior oblique.
