Article Synopsis
- Calcifications found on mammograms can sometimes signal systemic diseases rather than breast cancer, prompting further histologic testing.
- A case study describes a patient with bilateral calcifications that were ultimately diagnosed as amyloidosis via core biopsy.
- Awareness of the patient's existing condition, systemic light chain amyloidosis, led to the use of specific staining techniques to confirm the diagnosis, highlighting the importance of understanding systemic diseases in radiology.
