    Abstract:
    A 61-year-old female patient with diabetes undergoing maintenance hemodialysis presented with fever and swelling of her right breast. She had been unresponsive to nonspecific antimicrobial therapies. Breast tuberculosis and tuberculous lymphadenitis were diagnosed by excision biopsy and tissue culture. A combination antituberculous treatment including isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide was started and resulted in the remission of the lesions by the end of the first month of therapy.
