Microcalcifications (of a certain pattern on a mammogram) are an indication of Carcinoma in -situ which is a benign condition, can evolve into breast Cancer. So a cluster of calcifications is an indication for a biopsy or a close follow up for growth in and around the calcifications. In other words calcifications means high risk of breast Cancer. Therefore a biopsy is indicated in most such cases.
