title: [Tuberculous axillary lymphadenitis: an unusual presentation].
abstract: Axillary lymph node tuberculosis is rare and often poses problems of differential, diagnosis, especially with breast carcinoma. We report the case of a tuberculous axillary lymphadenitis discovered at the time of the exploration of a supposedly metastatic liver and, initially, taken for metastases of an occult breast carcinoma. Tuberculous axillary lymphadenitis remains a rare condition which must be considered in patients living in country with endemic tuberculosis.
