“…The reason for this is that mammary tissue is an inhospitable site for survival and multiplication of tubercle bacilli, as is skeletal muscle and spleen [1][3] [4]. It can be classified as primary or secondary [5]. Primary involvement is tuberculous infection confined only to the breast and is extremely uncommon [5] [6].…”

Tuberculosis of the breast is an extremely rare disease. In developing countries, where tuberculosis is endemic, the incidence is 0.25 -4.5% in contrast to western countries where it is less than 0.1%. The diagnosis is difficult because of nonspecific clinical and radiologic findings. It is usually suspected in a multiparous, lactating woman who may be immunocompromised. Radiological findings simulate malignant lesions of breast. We report an immunocompetent patient, who had no issue and had bilateral breast involvement which is very rare.

“…El tipo de micobacterias mas frecuentemente señalado como contaminante en cavidades de implantes mamarios es M. fortuitum, de manera similar a lo reportado en incisiones múltiples infectadas de laparoscopia y en casos de liposucción como procedimiento único (7). Las micobacterias, especialmente fortuitum, han sido también señaladas como causa de mastitis tuberculosa en mamas sin implantes (8). Quizás una de las limitaciones más importantes en la detección, sigue siendo la infrecuente sospecha de la incidencia de infección por micobacterias.…”

El hallazgo ocasional de energía estática importante en un implante mamario, generó una revisión sistemática de la información disponible al respecto que restableció una secuencia de eventos y conceptos de importancia, a nuestro juicio, en la práctica clínica Los implantes mamarios son elastómeros resultantes de la polimerización industrial que pueden generar cargas electrostáticas en su superficie. El efecto triboeléctrico puede mantener suficiente energía está-tica como para atraer partículas de material capaces de producir una contaminación periprotésica sintomá-tica. El desconocer esta propiedad física puede llevar a una práctica clínica de riesgo al colocar implantes mamarios. Adicionalmente se revisa la microbiología involucrada en la formación capsular periprotésica sintomática y la infección por bacterias productoras de "biofilm". An incidental finding of static energy upon the surface of a breast implant, generated a systematic search that led to a link between triboelectric charges and symptomatic periprosthetic infection.Breast implants are industrial elastomers that may result with electrostatic charges on its surface. Its propper resistivity allows silicone to maintain enough static that atracts and adheres particulate matter to become surface contamination with periprosthetic tissue reaction. Recognition of this particular physical property and its clinical implications allows for safer conditions of practice. We review microbiology involved in periprosthetic capsular formation and infection by «biofilm» producer bacteria.Peña Cabús, G.

Mammary tuberculosis is a rare entity in western countries but a continuing problem in endemic areas like Bangladesh. Its clinical patterns and treatment strategies are changing day by day. In this study we showed our clinical experience on 50 cases of mammary tuberculosis. This is a prospective nonrandomized observational descriptive study. A total of 50 consecutive adult female patients with no other co morbid diseases and who were diagnosed cytologically or histologically as case of mammary tuberculosis were enrolled in the study over a period of 04 years since 2006 to 2010 in general surgical unit of Chittagong Medical College Hospital and Chittagong general hospital. The average ages of presentation were 38 years. Ten(20%) patients were lactating at the time of presentation and six(12%) patients were nulliparious. 40(80%) patients had breast lump at presentation. Among them 20(40%) presented with multiple sinuses with lump,10(20%) had abscess with lump,05(10%) had abscess drainage scar with underlying lump and 05(10%) presented with isolated breast lump.06(12%) presented with multiple sinuses with abscess formation. Another 04(8%) patients had multiple sinuses only at presentation. Ten (20%) had constitutional symptoms in the form of fever, weight loss and night sweat. Twenty (40%) had axillary lymphaedenopathy in association with breast lesion. Diagnosis were confirmed by cytological and or histological findings of epitheloid granulomas.All patients were given antitubercular chemotherapy ( 9 months regimen) in combination with surgical intervention (45 out of 50 cases) as necessary in the form of excision of masses, incision and drainage of abscess and sinectomy. Mammary tuberculosis is a continuing problem in developing countries. Presentation may mimic benign lesion or carcinoma of the breast. Diagnosis can be made on high index of suspicion in endemic areas. Cytological or histological findings of granulomatous inflammation consisting of caseation necrosis, epitheloid cell and Langhans giant cell can give definitive diagnosis. Treatment is by anti tubercular chemotherapy with or without surgical intervention where necessary.
