| Tuberculous mastitis is a rare manifestation of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
It mimics inflammatory breast cancer or other pyogenic inflammations. In most of
the tuberculous mastitis reports, coexisting or prior tuberculosis infection and secondary
infection of the breast by direct spread via axillary or cervical lymphadenopathy,
or hematogenous spread have been noted. We describe the mammographic and
ultrasonographic findings of a case of diffuse type mycobacterium tuberculosis of the
breast showing diffuse edema which was confirmed as tuberculosis through biopsy
and had no evidence of old or concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis on chest computed
tomography. |
