      <Abstract>Dystrophic calcification in breast tissue and the chest wall is a common finding in patients undergoing definitive therapy including radiation treatment for breast cancer. In this report, we correlate significant and symptomatic dystrophic dense calcification as a late treatment effect associated with radiation therapy and correlate dosimetry and radiation dose and daily dose fractionation asymmetry to the development of calcifications.</Abstract>
