Evaluation of 85 patients who had augmentation mammaplasty with low-dose mammography detected microcalcifications in two patients. Both patients had biopsies that confirmed a diagnosis of intraductal carcinoma. A third patient with microcalcifications and a positive family history for carcinoma of the breast was found to have sclerosing adenosis. A fibroadenoma was visualized by mammography in a group of ten patients who were referred for the presence of palpable nodules of the breast. The remainder of the nodules were found to be related to the augmentation procedure.
