Breast tuberculosis can mimic cancer, posing diagnostic challenges. Increased awareness is crucial, especially in tuberculosis-endemic regions where extrapulmonary cases are rising.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Infectious Diseases
Radiology

Background:

Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern, predominantly affecting the lungs but increasingly presenting with extrapulmonary manifestations.
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis, including breast involvement, requires high clinical suspicion for accurate diagnosis.

Observation:

A case study of a 58-year-old female patient presenting with breast abnormalities initially misdiagnosed as a neoplastic process.
The clinical presentation and diagnostic pathway highlighted the challenges in differentiating breast TB from breast cancer.

Findings:

The final diagnosis confirmed breast tuberculosis, emphasizing the need to consider this differential diagnosis in suspicious breast lesions.
The case underscores the importance of integrating infectious disease perspectives into breast imaging and pathology evaluations.

Related Experiment Videos

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering breast tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of breast masses, particularly in endemic areas.
Enhanced diagnostic strategies and clinician awareness are vital for timely and accurate identification of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, improving patient outcomes.
