The composition of the breast tissue is heterogeneously dense.
Rim calcifications are demonstrated in the anterior third of the right breast.
The study was categorized as benign findings (BI-RADS 2).
Case Discussion
This type of calcifications is typically benign. If in doubt whether it is a round or rim calcification, look at the center of the calcification, rim calcifications will have a lucent center.
