Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We describe the mammographic appearance of axillary lymph node c alcification in three patients with metastatic ovarian carcinoma. CONCLUSION. Axillary lymph node calcification may be identified mammographi cally in patients with metastatic ovarian carcinoma and may be evidence of unsuspected metastatic disease. The pattern of calcification differs from t hat seen with metastatic breast carcinoma.
