A member asked:
Is there any difference between "grouped microcalcifications" and "clustered microcalcifications" in breast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: But, either description of the micro calcifications is suspicious and warrants further workup - magnification mammograms at least. Depending on what those show, a biopsy may be required to make a final diagnosis. Please complete the workup!
