الملخص EN

Microcalcifications in the breast are highly suggestive of malignancy; they can occur in many pathological conditions.

A 36-years-old nondiabetic woman came to the gynaecologist with a suspect palpable mass in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast.

Histopathological examination confirmed a calcification of a small artery (diameter: 0.45 mm).

Arterial calcifications can mimic a malignant lesion in the breast.
