title: [Tuberculosis of the breast: four cases report at the Armies Instruction's Hospital Omar Bongo Ondimba (HIAOBO) in Libreville (Gabon)].
abstract: Mammary tuberculosis is a rare localization of extra pulmonary tuberculosis. Its frequency increases proportionally with the HIV pandemic. We report four cases of breast tuberculosis diagnosed in the general medicine department of HIAOBO including two with positive HIV serology. It is necessary to know this extra pulmonary form/feature as the differential diagnosis with breast tumors is sometimes difficult.
