Abstrakt: There are approximately 200 reported cases of breast tumors containing areas of bone. The majority of the neoplasms are sarcomas, phylloides tumors, or fibroadenomata. We present a case of osseous metaplasia mammographically detected by clustered heterogeneous calcifications. Stereotactic core biopsy revealed the presence of well-formed bone tissue without associated neolplasia. The case represents the first reported case of mammographically detected osseous metaplasia confirmed by core biopsy.
