  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) incidence is increasing in developed countries.
  • Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) cases are rising, particularly in HIV-positive individuals.
  • Diagnosis of EPTB can be challenging due to varied presentations.

Observation:

  • A case of tuberculosis affecting the breast in a 71-year-old patient is presented.
  • This represents a rare manifestation of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • The diagnostic process for this condition can be complex.

Findings:

  • The case underscores the diagnostic challenges associated with rare forms of EPTB.
  • It serves as a reminder for clinicians about the diverse clinical presentations of tuberculosis.
  • Unusual presentations of TB can be easily overlooked in clinical practice.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for tuberculosis, even in atypical locations.
  • Awareness of rare TB presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
  • This case contributes to the understanding of EPTB and its diagnostic complexities.
