Lipoma in a 40-year-old woman with a palpable lump in the right breast; Cranio caudal mammogram of the right breast: giant radiolucent mass, with well delineated thin lobulated capsule (arrows) overlapping the lateral quadrants on 9 O'clock; this formation is the seat of an ill defined irregular mass-lik area with coarse and eggshell (arrowheads) calcifications within

Mammography showed a voluminous, well-delineated, multilobular and radiolucent mass, with thin peripheral capsule, overlapping the lateral quadrants of the right breast consistent with lipoma (Figure 1, Figure 2). Within, we noticed a central mass-like area showing irregular ill-defined margins with coarse, stippled and curvilinear calcifications creating the aspect of lucent "bubbles" or "eggshell calcifications" in the breast parenchyma, which corresponds to central fat necrosis (Figure 1, Figure 2).
