Area of Science:

  • Medical Case Reports
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Mammary tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
  • It often presents as a palpable mass, mimicking breast cancer.

Observation:

  • An 89-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of breast pathology.
  • Clinical examination revealed a mass in the breast.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed granulomatous inflammation consistent with tuberculosis.
  • Bacteriological analysis identified Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
  • Chest X-ray revealed concurrent lung-pleural tuberculosis, suggesting a secondary origin.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions, especially in endemic areas.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for managing mammary tuberculosis and preventing complications.
  • Secondary mammary tuberculosis warrants investigation for primary pulmonary or systemic infection.
