Abstract
Cancer and tuberculosis are the most common illnesses in the world; however, their coexistence is not uncommon and a challenge for pathologists and clinicians. The instances of mucinous carcinoma and disseminated tuberculosis are exceptional. Here, we present such a rare case of incidentally detected mucinous carcinoma of the breast with disseminated miliary tuberculosis in a 59-year-old female. The pertinent literature is being reviewed.
