Breast tuberculosis mimicking other diseases

Gian Franco Morino et al. Trop Doct. 2007 Jul.

Abstract

Breast tuberculosis can confuse the clinician by its close resemblance to carcinoma or non-specific abscess, with obvious negative therapeutical implications. We present two cases, one mimicking a breast malignancy and the other being confused with non-specific abscess, to illustrate the misdiagnosis risks and diagnostic challenges.
