A tattoo is defined as the intentional or accidental deposit of pigment into the skin. The phenomenon of skin tattooing is on the rise worldwide and complications of tattooing are increasingly being recognised in diagnostic and clinical medicine. We describe a case of calcification-like changes on mammography resembling that of breast malignancy as a result of tattoo pigment deposition in an axillary lymph node. Recognition of such changes in routine breast screening is crucial to avoid further unnecessary invasive investigations and surgery in such patients.
纹身被定义为色素有意或意外地沉积于皮肤。皮肤纹身现象在全球范围内呈上升趋势，纹身并发症在诊断和临床医学中越来越受到重视。我们描述了一例因纹身色素沉积于腋窝淋巴结，在乳腺钼靶检查中出现类似乳腺恶性肿瘤的钙化样改变的病例。在常规乳腺筛查中识别此类改变对于避免对这些患者进行进一步不必要的侵入性检查和手术至关重要。
