Seventeen patients aged 47-67 years had 20 foci of disappearing breast calcifications. Firm compression was used to obtain craniocaudal and oblique mediolateral views of each patient. The authors categorized calcifications according to shape, size, number, position, and likelihood of benignity or malignancy. The right breast was the site of disappearing calcifications more often than the left. The most common configuration of disappearing calcifications was round or oval. All calcifications but one were found in dense glandular areas of the breast. Dense glandular tissue within 1 cm of the border with the stroma was the most common location. Only one of 20 foci suggested malignancy. The disappearance of breast calcifications is uncommon but probably not rare.
17名年龄在47至67岁之间的患者有20处乳腺钙化灶消失。采用强力压迫获取每位患者的头尾位和内外斜位视图。作者根据形状、大小、数量、位置以及良性或恶性的可能性对钙化灶进行分类。右侧乳腺比左侧更常出现钙化灶消失的情况。钙化灶消失最常见的形态是圆形或椭圆形。除一处外，所有钙化灶均位于乳腺致密腺体内。与基质边界1厘米范围内的致密腺体组织是最常见的位置。20处病灶中只有一处提示为恶性。乳腺钙化灶的消失并不常见，但可能也并非罕见。
