Abstract

Spontaneous disappearance of breast calcification has rarely been reported. The majority of cases of spontaneously resolving calcifications have been concerned with benign processes. We report here on breast papillary carcinoma that showed spontaneously resolving microcalcifications without newly developed parenchymal changes on the follow-up mammogram.
