Tuberculosis of the breast
Posted on: May 2, 2024

A 38-year-old lady (Dr Rajni’s patient) presented with a long-standing (more than 6 months duration as per history) inflammatory mass in the left breast – never actually resolving despite prolonged antibiotic treatment and diagnosed clinically as an antibioma. This mass (along with a sinus which had developed recently) was excised under general anesthesia. The biopsy report surprisingly came out to be tuberculosis.


Was referred to TB hospital for medical treatment of tuberculosis. There she was put on anti-tubercular drugs, starting with 4 drug combination for first two months.
