    Summary

    Tuberculosis of the breast is rare, presenting in nodular, sclerotic, or ulcerative forms. Early diagnosis via mammography and tailored surgical treatment with antibiotics are key for effective management.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Mammary gland tuberculosis is an uncommon manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
    • Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • The study observed six cases of mammary gland tuberculosis.
    • Presentations included disseminated nodular (3 cases), sclerotic (2 cases), and ulcerative (1 case) forms.

    Findings:

    • Contrast-free mammography is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying mammary tuberculosis.
    • Surgical intervention combined with specific antibacterial therapy offers a radical treatment approach.

    Implications:

    • Treatment strategies should be age-dependent, with mammary gland resection for younger patients and amputation for older individuals.
    • This highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in breast lesions, especially in endemic areas.
