This volume covers a particularly troublesome subtype of breast cancer characterized by casting type calcifications. Highlights: - Extensive coverage of the morphology and outcome of this deceptive breast cancer subtype - Nearly 1000 illustrations of stunning quality showing the full range of manifestations - Photomicrographs of large, thin-section pathology slides and unique 3D pathology images which are carefully correlated with mammographic images to explain why mammograms appear as they do - Stereoscopic images that demonstrate normal breast structures and the distortion caused by this unique malignant process - Presentation of an original theory of neoductgenesis to explain the surprising disease outcome all too frequently observed - Scientific rationale for using individualized treatment methods which include the mammographic prognostic features Further volumes in the series will cover - Crushed stone--like and powdery calcifications - Spiculated lesions and architectural distortio Laszlo Tabar, MD, is Professor of Radiology at Uppsala University and Head of the Department of Mammography at Falun Central Hospital in Falun, Sweden.
