Differentialdiagnostik der Mikroverkalkungen: Die kleinzystische (blunt duct-) Adenose

Abstract
One hundred and thirty-five operations were carried out because of a finding of microcalcification in the breast. In 10% of these, the calcification was shown histologically to be within foci of micro-cyst (blunt duct) adenosis. Analysis of the radiographic appearances of the microcalcification revealed a characteristic radiographic pattern. The differential diagnosis of groups of calcification in intraduct carcinomas and in benign lesions is discussed.
