Tubercular breast abscess is a rare clinical entity and affects women from mainly the Indian subcontinent. It often mimics breast carcinoma and pyogenic breast abscess clinically. Routine laboratory investigations are not helpful in the diagnosis. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or biopsy is essential for diagnosis, and tuberculous culture when positive may be very useful to start antitubercular treatment. |
