Abstract
A 53-year-old woman with right breast microcalcifications of intermediate concern underwent stereotactic directional vacuum-assisted biopsy with marking clip placement. Postbiopsy mammograms showed displacement of a few of the targeted microcalcifications adjacent to misplaced marker clips. Mammography following stereotactic breast biopsy is important to document the location and number of residual calcifications and to determine the adequacy and location of clip placement.
