The cc image shows the spectrum of fibroadenoma calcifications in one breast. The density laterally (i.e at the top of the image)  with no calcium is a fibroadenoma. The calcification then starts peripherally in the medial (bottom) lesion and progresses in the central lesion to ultimately complete calcify the lesion lateral anterior.
