Abstract
Due to the inherent resistance of breast tissue to tuberculous infection, breast tuberculosis is rarely reported. One such case in a thirty-one year old non-lactating female patient is reported here. The uniqueness of this case is that it is only the second reported case in literature to the best of our knowledge which was diagnosed on cytological study of nipple discharge unlike other cases where diagnosis was made with the help of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology or Biopsy.
