Breast calcification, which is calcification of breast growth and calcium deposits, requires regular review and painful symptoms, which can be treated symptomatically through medication. Breast calcification spots are calcium deposits that can be seen on the mammogram. There are two types of breast calcification spots, macrocalcifications and microcalcifications. Macrocalcifications are usually degenerative changes within the breast, formed mostly due to previous injury, inflammation or aging of the breast arteries, and are usually not associated with cancer. Microcalcifications are spots of calcium that may be found at the site of rapidly decomposing cells, and these remnants, left behind by rapidly decomposing cells, can show up as microcalcifications. When present in large numbers in clusters, this indicates the possibility of small tumors.
