Paraperal microcalcifications refer to tiny deposits of calcium that occur in the breast tissue, often detected during mammography. These microcalcifications can be benign or indicative of underlying pathology, including Breast cancer. The term "paraperal" suggests their proximity to certain structures or areas within the breast, although it is not a widely used term in medical literature. Evaluation of these microcalcifications usually involves further imaging or biopsies to determine their significance.
