Abstract
On mammography, clustered microcalcification can be an early and sensitive sign of malignancy, although it is also commonly seen in benign alterations of the breast. We report on a 52-year-old woman with mammographically suspicious granular calcification as a late result of a short-term silicone augmentation. Plain film, surgical, and histopathological features are demonstrated.
