title: [Schistosomiasis: an unusual cause of breast microcalcifications].
abstract: We report a unusual case of mammary schistosomiasis revealed by breast microcalcifications. This localisation of schistosomiasis is exceptional but should be suspected in women who come from endemic areas. Other cases previously reported in the literature are also described.
