title: Mammographic appearance of axillary lymph node calcification in patients with metastatic ovarian carcinoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We describe the mammographic appearance of axillary lymph node calcification in three patients with metastatic ovarian carcinoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Axillary lymph node calcification may be identified mammographically in patients with metastatic ovarian carcinoma and may be evidence of unsuspected metastatic disease. The pattern of calcification differs from that seen with metastatic breast carcinoma.
