You didn't mention what the diagnosis was. Calcium oxalate is just a type of "calcification" that can be seen on mammograms. You can ask for a copy of your pathology report--that is your right as a patient. If you can let me know what that report said, I could possibly help out more. Right now I don't know enough information to help you out. It seems you had some sort of biopsy (either a core or a fine needle aspiration biopsy) prior to your surgery.

I had my surgery yesterday without understanding . I ask myself the Biopsy is Benign and why i need surgery. I was confused and question myself many times and could not find answer. My surgeon said "calcifications may be calcium oxalate and give the report the same day and ask me to make appointment for surgery. I did ask her " Do i have any option?". Without fully understand the pathology report. It is frustrating. Thanks. Carol Thanks for your information. I had my surgery yesterday without understanding .
