  • Title: Malignant-appearing microcalcifications at the lumpectomy site with the use of FloSeal hemostatic sealant.
    Author: Henkel A, Cooper RA, Ward KA, Bova D, Yao K.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2008 Nov; 191(5):1371-3. PubMed ID: 18941071.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to describe the benign mammographic calcifications that occur at the lumpectomy site after the use of a topical hemostatic sealant (FloSeal Matrix Hemostatic Sealant). These calcifications can have an appearance similar to that of recurrent carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Application of FloSeal hemostatic sealant in the lumpectomy cavity results in benign mammographic microcalcifications that could be misinterpreted as malignant.
