Abstract

The authors report a case of breast tuberculosis in a 58-year-old patient in which the diagnosis was made with difficulty, initially the case being interpreted as a neoplastic process. This diagnosis should be considered in such cases. In our area, in the present tuberculosis endemic, the cases of tuberculosis with extrapulmonary localisation are more and more frequent.
