title: [Bilateral breast tuberculosis: a case report. Review of the literature].
abstract: We report a case of bilateral tuberculosis of the breast that presented as masses and where the diagnosis could only be made from the histology. The outcome was good following antibiotics and antituberculous treatment. Tuberculosis of the breast is a very rare infection. The incidence of the disease is 0.025% of all disease of the breast treated surgically. The basis of treatment at the present time is antituberculous antibiotic treatment and surgery for any residual masses.
