Abstract

Breast calcifications are frequently detected in women undergoing screening mammography and image-guided biopsy may be required to further investigate its aetiology. Calcifications are associated with a diverse range of pathological findings, including benign and malignant entities and lesions of uncertain biological potential. The aim of this paper is to outline an approach to the histopathological evaluation of breast biopsies, vacuum assisted excision and surgical specimens performed for the investigation of calcifications. We emphasise the importance of radiological-pathological correlation and the crucial role of multidisciplinary team meeting review and discussion in guiding further management.

乳腺组织病理学中的钙化

乳房钙化经常在接受乳房X光筛查的妇女中被发现，可能需要在图像引导下进行活检以进一步研究其病因。钙化与多种病理结果有关，包括良性和恶性实体以及生物学潜力不确定的病变。本文旨在概述对乳腺活组织检查、真空辅助切除术和为调查钙化而进行的手术标本进行组织病理学评估的方法。我们强调放射学与病理学相关性的重要性，以及多学科小组会议审查和讨论在指导进一步治疗中的关键作用。

期刊介绍： This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
