title: [Breast tuberculosis: case report and literature review].
abstract: The authors present a case of tuberculosis of the breast as the AIDS--defining illness in a male adult patient, with CD4 counts still moderately low (475 cells/mm3) and without evidence of tuberculosis in any other organ. Literature review emphasizes the rarity of the isolated infection of the breast, especially in males, with no increase in the number of cases of this infection site even in patients with AIDS.
