Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 0, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Diagnosis of tuberculosis breast is of rarity with incidence of between 1 -5% in India. Most of the cases of TB breast are mistaken with abscess and carcinoma. It usually seen in young lactating multiparous women. We report a case of tuberculous mastitis in young multiparous woman who presented with chronic unilateral breast swelling, earlier diagnosed as a galactocele by FNAC treated conservatively but in view of persistence of swelling followed by repeat FNAC showed a tuberculous mastitis .Patient was treated with anti-tuberculous drugs showing a good response with resolution of swelling and symptoms. Clinical suspicion is always what is required in these patients especially in developing countries with endemic tuberculosis.
