Presentation
Baseline mammography. Without familial history of breast cancer.
Patient Data
Scattered punctate calcification foci are seen in the left breast as a benign finding.
In addition, a group of punctate calcifications is noted in the central medial part of the left breast, which is fixed in orientation on both CC and MLO views, known as a tattoo sign and consistent with dermal calcification. (BI-RADS 2)
Suspicious mass and calcification, and parenchymal distortion are not detectable.
There is no evidence in favor of retraction and skin thickening.
Case Discussion
The tattoo sign is a benign finding and feature given to describe dermal calcifications seen on mammography to prove the dermal location of the calcifications. It is helpful to obtain a tangential view or perform a tomosynthesis.
