Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) of the breast is a rare manifestation of extra-pulmonary localization of the disease. The incidences vary from a minimum in developed countries to a high in developing countries like India and Africa. Materials and Method:This study was a hospital-based observational study carried out in 75 cases of benign breast disease which were studied with special reference to Tuberculosis of the breast. All patients who were clinically diagnosed as a benign breast lump, above the age of 14-years and among them who were willing to undergo investigations and treatment were included. Ziehl-Neelsen staining was performed in all fine needle aspirates and finally, treatment modality used. Results:The present study involved 67 cases of benign breast lumps and 8 cases of recurrent breast abscesses. Further, it depicts predominant benign breast lumps which were fibroadenoma in 65.7% fibroadenosis in 23.80%, TB breast in 4.50%, ductal papilloma in 2.90% and phyllodes tumour of the breast in 1.5% of cases. Conclusion:For the TB of the breast in India, various treatment modalities are available. With timely diagnosis, the morbidity can be minimised with less amount of suffering.

From mammary mystery to parasitic surprise: a rare case of primary breast hydatid cyst

Background Primary breast hydatid cyst is an exceedingly rare manifestation of echinococcosis, with an incidence of less than 0.27% among all hydatid cyst cases. Case reportThis report presents a unique case of a 51-year-old multiparous female who initially presented with a painless left breast mass. Initial imaging studies, including ultrasonography and mammography, revealed a 4.5 × 4 cm cyst classified as BI-RADS 3. The cyst was initially managed with fine-needle aspiration and conservative treatment. However, it recurred twice over a six-month period, necessitating surgical excision. Preoperative laboratory work ups revealed eosinophilia, a finding initially overlooked but later recognized as significant. Histopathological examination of the excised specimen confirmed the diagnosis of a hydatid cyst. Post-surgical management included albendazole therapy, regular imaging follow-ups, and patient education on hygiene practices to prevent reinfection. ConclusionThis case highlights the importance of considering parasitic etiologies in the differential diagnosis of breast masses, particularly in endemic regions. It also underscores the value of a multidisciplinary approach in managing such rare cases. The unexpected diagnosis of a primary breast hydatid cyst in this case serves as a reminder of the diverse presentations of echinococcosis and the need for heightened clinical suspicion in atypical breast lesions.Clinical trial number Not applicable.

We present a case of ductal carcinoma in situ within a fibroadenoma. Breast cancer arising within fibroadenoma incidence ranges from 0.125% to 0.02%, and ductal carcinoma in situ is not the most frequent malignancy that can be found within a fibroadenoma. Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging showed an oval mass with circumscribed margins and dark internal septations, suspicious for fibroadenoma. According to European Society of Breast Radiology diffusion-weighted imaging consensus, mean apparent diffusion coefficient value obtained by drawing a small region of interest on the lesion apparent diffusion coefficient map showed a low diffusion level. Therefore, ductal carcinoma in situ within a fibroadenoma was diagnosed at final pathology after surgical excision.
