  • Title: [Tuberculosis of the breast].
    Author: Leleu O, Aubry P, Verhoest P, Jounieaux V.
    Journal: Rev Mal Respir; 1997 Nov; 14(5):401-3. PubMed ID: 9480487.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of tuberculosis of the breast in a patient aged 71. The case described is an example of a rare form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis whose diagnosis can pose problems. In view of the recent increase in the incidence of tuberculosis in certain developed countries and the growth in the proportion of cases of extra pulmonary tuberculosis especially in HIV sero-positive individuals an observation such as this is useful in that it recalls for clinicians the fact that tuberculosis may present in very unusual forms which are easily forgotten.
