ABSTRACT

Breast arterial calcification (BAC) has been reported in diabetic patients in universal literature. An observational, analytic and transverse study was performed in Mexican population, in which our series confirms that mamography BAC’s is not only associated with diabetic, but also with arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction and diabetic with arterial hypertension, the latter being more significant.
