A case of mammary schistosomiasis revealed by breast microcalcifications detected by mammography is reported. Although schistosomiasis can involve almost any organ, involvement of the breast is very rare. This case was diagnosed by stereotactic-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy of the breast microcalcifications.
