microcalcification
Description
A tiny deposit or buildup of calcium in any tissue, but typically found in the breast.
Microcalcifications can be found on mammograms and may indicate the presence of a benign cyst (a sac that is usually filled with fluid or semi-solid material) or early breast cancer.
