Axillary lymph node tuberculosis is rare and often poses problems of differential, diagnosis, especially with breast carcinoma. We report the case of a tuberculous axillary lymphadenitis discovered at the time of the exploration of a supposedly metastatic liver and, initially, taken for metastases of an occult breast carcinoma. Tuberculous axillary lymphadenitis remains a rare condition which must be considered in patients living in country with endemic tuberculosis.
腋窝淋巴结结核较为罕见，常常造成鉴别诊断方面的问题，尤其是与乳腺癌的鉴别。我们报告一例在对疑似转移性肝脏进行探查时发现的结核性腋窝淋巴结炎病例，最初被误诊为隐匿性乳腺癌的转移灶。结核性腋窝淋巴结炎仍然是一种罕见疾病，对于生活在结核病流行国家的患者必须予以考虑。
