A unique case of calcific bacterial endocarditis involving the pulmonic valve, which simulated cardiac tumor, is reported. The clinical, fluoroscopic and angiographic findings are described and correlate well with the lesions discovered at surgery. In this case, the diagnosis was originally suspected because of the calcification noted during fluoroscopy. However, the unusual auscultatory findings may prove useful in detecting other cases of a similar nature.
