[Axillary lymph node microcalcifications disclosing breast cancer].
Intra nodal calcifications associate with breast cancer are uncommon. The rare publications always describe malignant microcaocifications in axillary lymph nodes, evolving with the primary breast tumor imaged on mammography. In the reported observation, we observed calcified metastatic neoplasm in axillary nodes, preceding the intramammary lesion.
