Hi thanks for asking question.

Calcification can be because of fatty necrosis or breast trauma by previous surgery.You have history of previous surgery.so it could be cause.

I mass is palpable and breast pain present then search for ductal carcinoma in situ or fibroadenoma like condition.

Mammography or biopsy could be useful.

If nipple discharge present then duct ectasia might be cause.

I hope I had solve your concern.

Take care
