Tubercolous mastitis is an uncommon lesion even in countries where the incidence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis is still very high. At the Ife University Teaching Hospital only one case of tuberculous mastitis has been seen over a ten-year period during which 671 breast biopsies were examined. This was in a 36-year old Nigerian woman who developed a left breast mass during pregnancy. She was seen after her delivery and was initially diagnosed as a case of carcinoma of the breast. Subsequent excisional biopsy and pathological examination of the mass confirmed tuberculosis of the breast. She has responded favourably to anti-tuberculous therapy.
结核性乳腺炎是一种罕见的病变，即使在肺结核和肺外结核发病率仍然很高的国家也是如此。在伊费大学教学医院，在十年期间检查了671例乳房活检，仅发现1例结核性乳腺炎。这是一名36岁的尼日利亚妇女，她在怀孕期间左侧乳房出现肿块。她产后前来就诊，最初被诊断为乳腺癌。随后对肿块进行切除活检和病理检查，证实为乳房结核。她对抗结核治疗反应良好。
