Bone within the breast. Report of a case with radiographic and nuclear medicine features.
A mass containing unusual calcific densities suggestive of bone formation was demonstrated within the breast on xeroradiography. The mass showed a very high uptake of 99mTc-polyphosphate on a total-body radionuclide bone scan and was found to have extensive bone and cartilage formation on pathological examination.
