Case report: Malignant-type calcification of the nipple with histologic correlation

Malignant-type calcification of the nipple is a rare lesion, with only 2 cases reported in literature. We present a case of a 48-year-old female who came to us because of noncycle breast pain, where malignant-type calcification of the nipple was incidentally seen on mammography. The final pathology...
