“…Milk of calcium is a relatively common finding, shown to be benign on prolonged follow-up,1 and likely to present at any moderately busy breast-imaging department as a potential cause for unnecessary biopsy. Biopsy should not be performed in such cases, though care should be taken not to miss any suspicious lesions, either in the vicinity or away from the lesion.…”

“…Calcificaciones en "lechada de cal": Corresponden a pequeñas partículas de oxalato de calcio que sedimentan al interior de dilataciones saculares de las unidades terminales del conducto lobular (TDLU/terminal ductal-lobular unit) (macro o microquistes) (1,14). Son más frecuentes en la peri y postmenopausia, suelen ubicarse en la región Figura 2.…”

“…También llamadas en "tacita de té". Estas calcificaciones son menos evidentes en la proyección cráneo-caudal, observándose tenues y amorfas, y son más evidentes en las proyecciones laterales, donde presentan forma de menisco de concavidad superior o de morfología lineal (1,14). Por esto, lo más importante en su evaluación es reconocer el cambio de morfología en las diferentes proyecciones (Figura 4).…”
