Internationally renowned breast cancer imagers Laszlo Tabar and Peter B. Dean, along with eminent breast pathologist Tibor Tot, share decades of clinical expertise in this volume focused on pleomorphic, crushed stone-like calcifications, the most common malignant calcifications. It offers a systematic approach to using mammographic features to differentiate various subtypes of breast diseases originating in the terminal ductal lobular unit (TDLU). With over 800 high-quality images, the book serves as a state-of-the-art visual reference for interpreting mammograms in clinical practice. Key features include concise descriptions of mammographic and MRI findings correlated with histopathologic images for accurate diagnosis and prognostic classification. It extensively covers benign differential diagnoses of pleomorphic calcifications, including fibrocystic change, fibroadenoma, and papilloma. The terminology is discussed based on a thorough analysis of subgross anatomy, 3D histologic features, and long-term disease outcomes. Additionally, 3D viewing glasses are included for perceiving specially marked images in their true three-dimensional form. This volume is essential for breast imagers, pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists specializing in breast diseases, and serves as an indispensable reference for radiologists aiming to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages.

"The thoroughly revised and expanded 4th edition of the bestselling "Teaching Atlas of Mammography" contains a significant number of new cases. Based on 40 years of experience, the superbly illustrated cases often show long-term follow-up of patients over a period of up to 25 years. Rather than starting with the diagnosis and demonstrating typical findings, the approach of this atlas is to teach the reader and allow him to practice through 154 paradigm cases: how to systematically review mammograms for even the most subtle hints of malignancy, and how to carefully analyze and evaluate the mammographic signs to reach the correct diagnosis. Still unique to this book is the correlation of imaging findings with the corresponding large thin-section and subgross, large thick-section (3D) histology to facilitate an understanding of the pathological processes leading to the mammographic appearances. This approach is the basis for a profound understanding of breast imaging because it is a direct and effective method of teaching differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast diseases"--Provided by publisher.
