DDX Dermal Breast Calcifications

dermal calcifications on mammography include systemic manifestations such as chronic renal failure, osteoma cutis, or hypercalcemic states. Dermal calcifications may also result from specific nipple/areolar etiologies such as mammary duct ectasia, cutaneous horn of the nipple, abscess of Montgomery gland, Paget disease of the breast, primary lymphoma, and breast carcinoma.
