Depósitos áuricos en ganglios axilares simulando microcalcificaciones

Breast cancer frequently presents with microcalcifications arranged in characteristic calcific patterns. The presence of microcalcifications in axillary lymph nodes is an unusual finding, particularly when they are secondary to nodal metastasis produced by primary breast cancer. We report the case of a patient with a history of rheumatoid arthritis in whom routine mammography disclosed the presence of microcalcifications in axillary lymph nodes, describing the radiological features and differential diagnosis and reviewing the literature.
