Tuberculosis of the breast is a very rare entity. Nearly 500 cases of breast tuberculosis have
been documented world wide. Despite the high incidence of tuberculosis in India, reports of
breast tuberculosis have been few. We report a rare case of TB of the breast, which resembled
malignancy. This is the first case that presented to a unit of general surgery in a tertiary care
municipal general hospital in Mumbai in the past 10 years thereby signifying the rareness of
this disease.
