  • 1. Nauchno-Issledovatel'skij Onkologicheskij Inst., Moscow (USSR)

Description

Breast cancer is characterized by the presence of multiple aggregated microcalcinates. However, the authors managed to detect 6 cases of breast cancer with macroaggregate calcifications of which 3 were not adequately imaged on mammograms. Morphological investigations in all cases have shown that macroaggregate calcifications that are typical of benign lesions, are also detectable in breast cancer
