Methods 150 women who were found out with breast calcifications by mammary molybdenum target inspection and had been treated with surgical excision biopsy were selected.Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results In 150 cases of mammographic calcifications, 102 cases were benign lesions by pathologic diagnosis, and 48 cases were malignant.Compared the morphological characteristics of the benign and malignant breast calcifications, the nature of the lesion was associated with lesion size(χ2=5.55), the density of calcification(χ2=7.591) and the distribution of calcifications(χ2=11.859).
