ABSTRACT

Breast tuberculosis is a rare form of tuberculosis, in developed nations its prevalence is 0.1%. In undeveloped nations it is between 3 and 4%. Less frequently breast tuberculosis cases are presented. Some texts deals with simple mastectomy cases understood as breast cancer (6, 8, 9). There is a case. She is a 35 years old woman; she is from Piedras Clavadas, Tihuatlán. She belongs to high prevalence tuberculosis community, and she has not received BCG vaccine. She presents painful tumor which has developed during 3 months in her left breast, and armpit adenomegaly. The ultrasonography report presents back breast abscesses and low response to antibiotic treatment. Chronic granulomatous mastitis with focal cheesy necrosis and isoleted Langhans’ giant cells responding positively to antituberculosis treatment are reported by the biopsy.
