Primary tuberculosis of the breast unlike carcinoma is rare, but secondary lesions from cervical and axillary tuberculous lymphadenitis are not uncommon. In this case, a 60-year-old woman presented with ulcerated axillary lymph node swelling and breast lump. Biopsy of the breast lump and lymph node confirmed tuberculous granuloma. She was commenced on anti-tuberculous chemotherapy and wound dressing. Her wounds and sinuses healed satisfactorily before being discharged to continue her treatment at home. She was however lost to followup.
