RID29214 amorphous calcification

synonym

indistinct calcification
predominately round calcification

definition

[BI-RADS] Mammo: So small and/or hazy in appearance that a more specific particle shape cannot be determined.

comment

Diffuse scattered amorphous calcifications can usually be dismissed as benign although baseline magnification views may be helpful. amorphous calcifications ins a clustered, regional, linear or segmental distribution may warrant biopsy.
