This study details a rare case of breast abscess caused by Brucella. Radiological imaging and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis, with successful treatment using antibiotics.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease prevalent globally, affecting multiple organ systems.
  • Breast abscesses are uncommon manifestations of Brucellosis.

Observation:

  • A 63-year-old female presented with a left breast mass.
  • Mammography, ultrasonography, MRI, and MRS were utilized for investigation.

Findings:

  • Imaging revealed a 25x20x15 mm mass with homogenous T1/T2 hyperintensity and peripheral capsular enhancement on contrast-enhanced MRI.
  • MR spectroscopy showed elevated lipid and acetate peaks.
  • Fine needle aspiration biopsy and culture confirmed Brucella infection.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering Brucellosis in breast abscess diagnosis, especially in endemic areas.
  • Multimodality imaging, including MRI and MRS, aids in characterizing Brucellar breast abscess.
  • Combined antibiotic therapy with tetracycline and rifampicin proved effective in treating the lesion.
