Definition. By Mayo Clinic Staff. Breast calcifications are calcium deposits within breast tissue. They appear as white spots or flecks on a mammogram. Breast calcifications are common on mammograms, and they're especially prevalent after age 50.
Scattered round and punctate calcifications (arrows). Punctate calcifications usually measure less than 0.5 mm in diameter. Round calcifications are benign spherical calcifications that may vary in size. When less than 1 mm, round calcifications are frequently formed in the acini of the lobules.
Breast calcifications are calcium deposits that develop in breast tissue. They're common and often show up on a routine mammogram. While they're usually benign (noncancerous), breast calcifications can be a sign that you're at risk for developing breast cancer.
There are two types of breast calcifications: macrocalcifications and microcalcifications. Macrocalcifications look like large white dots on a mammogram (breast X-ray) and are often dispersed randomly within the breast.
It is classified into five main types: dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, iatrogenic, and calciphylaxis. Dystrophic calcification is the most common cause of calcinosis cutis and is associated with normal calcium and phosphorus levels.
Segmental calcifications are best described as calcium deposits that conform to the expected distribution of one or more ducts and their branches, usually radiating toward the nipple. They can have a branching appearance or cover a triangular region, with the most acute angle pointing to the nipple.
Sometimes calcifications indicate breast cancer, such as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), but most calcifications result from noncancerous (benign) conditions. Possible causes of breast calcifications include: Breast cancer. Breast cysts.
Grouped coarse heterogeneous calcifications are a group of irregular and conspicuous microcalcifications, smaller than dystrophic calcifications. They may be associated with malignancy, but they are also present in benign conditions, as fibroadenoma, in areas of fibrosis or trauma.
The term grouped calcifications is used in mammography when relatively few breast microcalcifications reside within a small area. There must be at least five calcifications present within 1 cm of each other 3. At the most, it may refer to a larger number of calcifications present within 2 cm of each other 3.
Calcifications can be due to DCIS. However, not all calcifications are found to be DCIS. Many women develop benign (not cancer) calcifications in their breasts as they get older. If you have calcifications, further mammograms will be done to see the calcifications in more detail.
Macrocalcifications (benign coarse calcifications) These are areas of calcium that look like big white dots or dashes on a mammogram. Macrocalcifications are sometimes called benign coarse calcifications. They can develop naturally as breast tissue gets older and are harmless.
A particular kind of biopsy called a stereotactic core needle biopsy can diagnose DCIS. This is a nonsurgical, outpatient procedure. After giving you medicine to numb the breast area, the doctor or technologist collects cells from the area of concern using a needle guided by mammography.
