The finding of calcified metastases is common in mucin-producing gastro-intestinal, ovarian, cholangiocellular adenocarcinomas, as described in literature. We report a case of multifocal mucinous breast cancer that, at diagnosis, presented calcified mediastinal lymph nodes metastases, detected at CT and confirmed by hystology. As far as we know from literature, this is the first reported case of calcified metastatic lymph nodes from mucinous breast carcinoma

Abstract
The finding of calcified metastases is common in mucin-producing gastro-intestinal, ovarian, cholangiocellular adenocarcinomas, as described in literature. We report a case of multifocal mucinous breast cancer that, at diagnosis, presented calcified mediastinal lymph nodes metastases, detected at CT and confirmed by hystology. As far as we know from literature, this is the first reported case of calcified metastatic lymph nodes from mucinous breast carcinoma
