Coarse or 'Popcorn-like' The classic large 'popcorn-like' calcifications are produced by involuting fibroadenomas. These calcifications usually do not cause a diagnostic problem. When the calcifications in an fibroadenoma are small and numerous, they may resemble malignant-type calcifications and need a biopsy.
