title: Primary tuberculosis of the breast.
abstract: Primary tuberculosis of the breast is a rare disease. Mammographic, sonographic, and computed tomographic features of a case of primary tuberculosis in the breast are presented. Differential diagnosis with other benign and malign diseases of the breast can be difficult with imaging methods. In endemic areas, tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of breast tumors.
