skin cancer on breast

Is it possible for skin cancer that is located on the breast to cause micro-calcs within the breast?  I have had micro-calcs for years.  They have increased in number, and changed pattern slightly.  I have had MRI's, mamo's, and ultrasounds that came back showing solid nodules and simple cysts, as well as dialated ducts.  I have had fibrocystic  breast disease most of my life. I have had a FNB, wedge biopsy of the aereola, and biopsy of breast discharge, all of which came back ok.  That is pretty much my history. I was just curious as to whether skin cancer could cause the underlying calcs, as I just a had a biopsy and am awaiting the results oin Tuesday.

Microcalcifications occur normally within the breast tissue ... as a rule they tend to increase with age and are usually seen scattered throughout the breast. It is only when they are observed in clusters or certain patterns that they are cause for concern. Nothing on the skin can cause these to occur.
