I had a breast biopsy and was told that the calcium deposit were suspicious. what does that mean?

You should: Discuss this with your physician. He or she is likely awaiting the final pathology results from the biopsy. On mammogram dense areas light up, calcium included. My guess is that they saw these deposits on the mammogram, thus the biopsy. Calcium does not always mean cancer thus the word "suspicous". Good luck.

Breast calcification: There are many reasons for calcification to occur in the breast. Most of the reasons are benign. However, there is a form of treatable pre-cancer/early stage cancer that can also cause calcification. While we can sometimes tell the difference between types of calcium, a lot of the time we have to perform a biopsy to be certain. Usually this type of calcification is considered suspicious.

Calcium deposits: It means that there are small calcifications that can't be classified as benign. These typically require biopsy for firm diagnosis. Many or most of these yield benign results, but tissue sampling is usually the only way to know the status of indeterminate or suspicious calcifications.
