Hi Anon,

Thanks for posting!
Multiple Diffuse Punctate Calcifications basically means that there are scattered, small, round calcifications in the breasts. The location, shape, and whether they are clustered or scattered make a HUGE difference in diagnosis. MDPC's are usually benign calcifications in the breasts.
