Dystrophic Large Calcification in Breast Cancer

Abstract

There are well established diagnostic criteria for calcifications detected on mammography which allows the division into: benign intermediate concern and higher probability of malignancy according to the morphology. Large calcifications are usually associated with benign breast conditions. We report three cases of breast cancer with large dystrophic calcification on imaging studies (mammography, ultrasound, computed -tomography) and histopatology displayed into the tumor as well as into the tributaries lymph nodes.
