ObjectiveTo investigate the X-ray diagnostic significance of calcification of the breast tumor without mass. MethodsMammograms of 90 cases of breast tumor without mass confirmed pathologically were retrospectively analyzed. There were 55 cases confirmed benign breast tumor, and the rest cases were breast cancer. The shape, distribution, total number, location of calcifications in the breast, and asymmetric dense of the breast were recorded and watched. Results①The X-ray findings of calcification in benign breast tumors always presented as coarse granular (31), scattered shape (35) with small number, less with the asymmetric dense of the breast (7), and the change of side with axillary lymph node (2). ②Meanwhile, fine sand-like (32), showing the cluster-like distribution (24) with larger number, with the asymmetric dense of the breast (24) and the change of side with axillary lymph node (10). Both of the differences of the calcifications (the shape, the distribution, and the total number) were statistically significant (P lt;0.05). ConclusionsThe calcifications of benign and malignant breast tumors have their unique X-ray characteristics. And there is a great value in differentiating early benign and malignant breast tumor.
