False-positive digital mammography (DM)/digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening diagnosis. Screening DBT (a) with reconstructed 2D DM (C-view) (b) and higher-magnification view (c) in a 55-year-old woman at average risk revealed clustered calcifications in the left upper outer quadrant. DBT was rated as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 4, and DBT-guided vacuum biopsy was performed (d–g). Histology revealed fibrocystic changes with sclerosing adenosis and no atypia (h and i). Overview biopsy specimen (h) and higher-magnification view (i) of H&E stains. No immunohistochemistry was necessary. a–c Screening DBT (a) with reconstructed 2D DM (C-view) (b) and higher-magnification view (c). d–g DBT-guided vacuum biopsy was performed, including clip placement. h and i Overview biopsy specimen (h) and higher-magnification view (i) of H&E stains.
