ABSTRACT
Background:
Malignancy of the breast is one of the commonest lesions of the breast.
Amongst the infective lesions tuberculosis has now become a common
occurrence especially in the developing world. However, co-existence of
the two in the same breast is extremely rare. Introduction: Since both
of these lesions have a different natural history, co-existence of
tuberculosis and malignancy poses a diagnostic dilemma to both the
surgeon and the pathologist. Awareness of the co-existence of the two
lesions in the same patient is pivotal for early diagnosis and planning
the management. Case Report: In view of its rarity, a case of
coexistence of the two diseases in the same beast is reported in order
to create an awareness of their co-existence. Discussion: The diagnostic
implications and management are discussed. Conclusion: Awareness of the
co-existence of these divergent pathological conditions is essential
for early diagnosis and planning of an accurate treatment protocol.
