    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Mammary tuberculosis is a rare condition often misdiagnosed.
    • Distinguishing it from breast abscesses and carcinoma is clinically challenging.

    Observation:

    • Five cases of mammary tuberculosis treated with surgical excision and chemotherapy are presented.
    • Four patients recovered fully; one experienced a recurrence requiring reoperation.

    Findings:

    • Clinical diagnosis of mammary tuberculosis is unreliable.
    • Surgical excision is crucial for definitive diagnosis.
    • Standard chemotherapy is recommended, but the role of surgery requires further evaluation.

    Implications:

    • Early and accurate diagnosis is vital for effective management.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches may be necessary for complex cases.
    • Further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies for mammary tuberculosis.
