Abstract
Breast tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis seen more commonly in patients from Indian sub-continent and Africa. It often mimics carcinoma and breast abscess. It commonly affects women of reproductive age or who are lactating. But rarely does it occur in male patients and in elderly women. Here we report an elderly woman diagnosed with primary breast tuberculosis.
