摘要：

In a 49-year-old man, symptoms of aortic valve stenosis developed that required surgical intervention with valve replacement. Pathologic examination of the valve showed severe calcific aortic sclerosis and foci of hyaline cartilage. The authors believe that these foci are secondary to cartilaginous tranformation of mesenchymal valvular tissue. This represents abnormal repair of valvular tissue damaged, in this case, by the nodular calcific process of calcific aortic stenosis.
