“…The mammographic and sonographic features of tubercular mastitis in a study by Sakar and group found mass lesion mimicking malignant tumors (30 %), smooth bordered masses (40 %), axillary or intramammary adenopathy (40 %), asymmetric density and duct ectasia (30 %), skin thickening and nipple retraction, macrocalcification (20 % each), and skin sinus (10 %). On ultrasound, 60 % had hypoechoic masses, 40 % focal or sectorial duct ectasia, and 50 % axillary adenopathy [36].…”

“…Ultrasound of this patient revealed a low echoic homogenous mass with a relatively clear border. This resembles ultrasound images of tuberculosis of the breast and lymph nodes 9. MRI scans closely resembled leiomyoma, with increased signal intensity on T1‐weighted images and slightly lower signal intensity on T2‐weighted images.…”

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) and its diagnosis are of great importance in the middleeast, according to the increasing burden of this disease and the large number of unreported cases. Less than 20% of all TB cases only have extra-pulmonary manifestations and breast TB is a rare form of extra-pulmonary TB. It includes about 1% of all breast lesions. Case Presentation: This study presents an 83 year-old breast TB female case with the complaints of fatigue, lethargy, and fever. In the physical examination, the patient had a discharging abscess in upper outer quadrant of her right breast associated with edema and erythema, accompanied with multiple axillary and supraclavicular adenopathies. Imaging showed multiple cervical, axillary, and abdominal adenopathies. Clinical manifestations were highly suggestive of inflammatory breast carcinoma. Further investigations, including lymph node biopsy and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) helped with the diagnosis of TB in the patient. The patient was treated with quadruple therapy of TB. Conclusion: Because of its nonspecific clinical features, TB mastitis is often being misdiagnosed and underreported. Early diagnosis of breast TB could reduce patients' morbidity and also facilitate an effective treatment of patients with inflammatory breast lesions. TB should be the first differential diagnosis of granulomatous mastitis.
