Code	Display	Definition
Amorphous	Amorphous or indistinct calcifications are defined as 'without a clearly defined shape or form'. These calcifications are usually so small or hazy in appearance, that a more specific morphologic classification cannot be determined.

Spherical	No definition found.	No definition found.
Skin	Usually lucent-centered and pathognomonic in appearance.	Usually lucent-centered and pathognomonic in appearance.
Round	May vary in size and, therefore, also in opacity (when < 0.5 mm, the term 'punctate' should be used).	May vary in size and, therefore, also in opacity (when < 0.5 mm, the term 'punctate' should be used).
Rim	Appear as calcium deposited on the surface of a sphere (usually < 1 mm in thickness when viewed on edge).	Appear as calcium deposited on the surface of a sphere (usually < 1 mm in thickness when viewed on edge).
Punctate	Breast calcifications are small calcium deposits that develop in a woman's breast tissue. They are very common and are usually benign (noncancerous). ... Macrocalcifications are common -- they are found in approximately half of women over age 50, and one in 10 women under age 50 -- and are considered noncancerous.

PleomorphicADDFine	Microcalcifications that vary in size and shape are of more concern — you may hear these referred to as 'pleomorphic calcifications' — and they may be clustered in a specific area of the breast. Although breast calcifications are usually noncancerous (benign), certain patterns of calcifications — such as tight clusters with irregular shapes and fine appearance — may indicate breast cancer or precancerous changes to breast tissue.

None	No calcifications present.	No calcifications present.
MilkOfCalcium	A manifestation of sedimented calcifications in macro- or microcysts, usually but not always grouped. Refer to lexicon classification form for complete description.

LucentCentered	They are different from malignant-type fine branching calcifications, because they are usually > 1 mm in diameter. They may have lucent centers if the calcium is in the wall of the duct. These calcifications follow a ductal distribution, radiating toward the nipple and are usually bilateral.

These calcifications follow a ductal distribution, radiating toward the nipple and are usually bilateral.
LinearADDFine	These are suspicious calcifications arranged in a line or showing a branching pattern, suggesting deposits in a duct. Although breast calcifications are usually noncancerous (benign), certain patterns of calcifications — such as tight clusters with irregular shapes and fine appearance — may indicate breast cancer or precancerous changes to breast tissue.	These are suspicious calcifications arranged in a line or showing a branching pattern, suggesting deposits in a duct. Although breast calcifications are usually noncancerous (benign), certain patterns of calcifications — such as tight clusters with irregular shapes and fine appearance — may indicate breast cancer or precancerous changes to breast tissue.
Layering	Benign calcifications: These are described as layered, tea-cup shaped, or milk of calcium. These are from benign causes such as fibrocystic breast changes or ruptured breast cysts.	Benign calcifications: These are described as layered, tea-cup shaped, or milk of calcium. These are from benign causes such as fibrocystic breast changes or ruptured breast cysts.
LargeRodLike	Associated with ductal ectasia, may form solid or discontinuous, smooth linear rods, usually ≥ 0.5 mm in diameter.	Associated with ductal ectasia, may form solid or discontinuous, smooth linear rods, usually ≥ 0.5 mm in diameter.
Indistinct	near and segmentally distributed calcifications are arranged in a line or branching pattern, indicating that the deposits are in a duct and these tend to be malignant, since most of the common malignancies are ductal.	near and segmentally distributed calcifications are arranged in a line or branching pattern, indicating that the deposits are in a duct and these tend to be malignant, since most of the common malignancies are ductal.
Heterogeneous	Coarse heterogeneous calcifications are irregular calcifications that are between 0.5 mm and 1 mm in size. They are usually in a group and are smaller in size than dystrophic calcifications. ... Coarse heterogeneous calcifications in a linear or segmental distribution are suspicious.
