Tuberculous mastitis.
We present a case of tuberculous mastitis. The patient's only other focus of tuberculosis, besides the clinical infection in the right breast, was a simple calcified primary complex in the right lung. Our review of records from the past 27 years yielded no other case of proven tuberculous mastitis in our hospital, which treats an annual average of 433 patients with breast diseases.
