A Rare Case of Breast Tuberculosis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Pulmonary tuberculosis is one of the most widespread and persistent human infections in the world. Breast tuberculosisis an uncommon disease, with an incidence of less than 0.1% of all breast lesions in Western countries and 4% of all breast lesions in endemic countries. We report a case of a 25 year old lady with breast tuberculosis in her left breast. Ultrasonography of the breast and fine needle aspiration cytology of the breast lump confirmed the diagnosis. She was put on a 6-month course of anti-tubercular therapy. The lump size was decreased within 3 months of follow-up and the patient remained asymptomatic. She was advised to continue treatment. Tuberculosis of breast should also be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in cases of breast abscess.
