Abstract
Mammary tuberculosis is a rare condition. Early diagnosis is often difficult. Mammary tuberculosis simulates other much more common breast diseases, in particular cancer in older women, and can only be diagnosed definitively by histopathological examination in the presence of epithelio-giganto-cellular granulomas with caseous necrosis. We report a case of mammary tuberculosis in a 42-year-old woman to raise the problem of diagnosis.
