[Brucellosis-induced granulomatous non-puerperal mastitis--a case report].
An acute manifestation of a chronic brucellosis localised to the female breast is described. A granulomatous mastitis was identified on histological examination. To our knowledge, this is the first reported occurrence of this phenomenon. It is pointed out that it is clinically difficult to distinguish this type of infection from an inflammatory carcinoma of the breast.
