Description

Mammary tuberculosis remains a rare pathology, creating challenges in its differential diagnosis with breast cancer due to the lack of specificity of symptoms and imaging findings. It is crucial to consider breast tuberculosis, particularly in endemic regions or in immunocompromised individuals. We present a case of breast tuberculosis in a 44-year-old woman to highlight the diagnostic difficulties associated with this disease.
