Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis usually involving the lung parenchyma and hilar lymph nodes. Extra-pulmonary involvement is seen in 20% of all TB cases. TB of the breast is an uncommon disease, particularly in men. Tuberculous mastitis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, the first case of breast TB was reported in a woman in 1829, but the first detailed description of the disease was only made by the end of the 19th Century.
