Tuberculosis of the breast: a rare extra-pulmonary presentation of tuberculosis.
Introduction: Breast tuberculosis (TB) is a rare extra-pulmonary presentation of tuberculosis. In the western world, this accounts for less than 0.1% of breast conditions (all breast conditions, not limited to TB or extra-pulmonary TB), but can be up to 3-4% in regions endemic for TB such as in Africa and Asia.
Case presentation: We report a case of a 54-year- old human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive lady who presented with six months history of multiple masses on the left breast which were initially suspected to be cancer of the breast. However, histology report of the mass confirmed TB of the breast.
Conclusions: Presentation of TB can be non-specific and atypical in patients with HIV infection, especially when it presents in extra-pulmonary forms.
