Abstract:
A 52-year-old Caucasian woman with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) presented for mammography as part of the NHS Breast Screening Programme. A focus of dense calcifications was seen in the left breast. Core biopsy showed stromal calcification. The patient insisted on removal of the abnormal area. The wide local excision showed stromal calcification identical to that seen in the core biopsy. Clinicians should be aware of EDS patients presenting with breast stromal calcifications and this fact should be taken into account when investigating such lesions.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
