Dr. Gordon,

I found this reference on Medline.  I was unaware of the link, so this was
interesting.

A case of postlactational microcalcifications is reported. A 42-year-old
woman presented for screening mammography 2 months after completion of
breast-feeding. Comparison to her pregravid screening mammogram revealed
the appearance of multiple groups of indeterminate microcalcifications
bilaterally (BIRADS IV). She underwent bilateral stereotactic core
biopsies of representative areas, yielding benign pathology. There have
been anecdotal accounts and five reported cases of lactational
microcalcifications in the radiology literature. We discuss the possible
etiologies as well as implications of this mammographic finding.
