Abstract
A 53-year-old woman presented to her physician one month after she had noticed an area of ''thickening'' in the upper outer quadrant of her right breast. The patient had had her last menstrual period two years earlier. She had never had a mammogram. A mammogram was performed. It showed an area of clustered microcalcifications suggestive of cancer i n the area of the palpable abnormality.
