Abstract

Abstract Breast tuberculosis is a rare form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. It accounts for less than 0.1% of breast conditions in developed countries but reaches about 3-4% in developing high TB endemic regions. It usually occurs in multiparous and lactating women. The clinical, radiological and pathological presentation may often mimic breast abscess, idiopathic granulomatous mastitis or carcinoma. The most common presentation is that of a lump. Constitutional symptoms are not usually present. The most common site is the right upper outer quadrant of the breast. It also occurs in association with Immunosuppression disorders such as HIV. Here we present a case of a young, multiparous non- lactating woman with tubercular mastitis, confirmed by FNAC of the mass. The Tuberculin skin test was positive and the patient improved with anti-tubercular treatment.
罕见的乳腺结核1例
摘要乳腺结核是一种罕见的肺外结核。在发达国家,它占乳腺疾病的不到0.1%,但在发展中结核病高流行地区,这一比例约为3-4%。它通常发生在多胎和哺乳期妇女。临床、影像学及病理表现常与乳腺脓肿、特发性肉芽肿性乳腺炎或癌相似。最常见的表现是肿块。体质症状通常不存在。最常见的部位是乳房的右上外象限。它也发生在免疫抑制疾病,如艾滋病毒。在此,我们报告一位年轻的,多产的,非哺乳期妇女结核性乳腺炎,由肿块的FNAC证实。结核菌素皮肤试验阳性,经抗结核治疗病情好转。
