title: [Breast tuberculosis. A case of a diffuse inflammatory form].
abstract: We report a case of inflammatory tuberculosis of the breast in a 83-year-old French Caucasian woman. She presented with a diffuse inflammatory tuberculosis of the breast and an axillary enlarged lymph node but no tumor was palpable in the breast. A carcinoma was firstly suspected. The diagnosis was accessed after repeat punction of a lymph node, as a Mycobacterium tuberculosis was identified after culture. A medical treatment was sufficient in our case.
