Tuberculosis presenting as breast lump is a rare disease. This condition usually occurs in females who are in the reproductive age group. Diagnosis is quite difficult unless prompt investigations are meticulously done. They are often mistaken for malignancy. We report a 19-year-old girl with tubercular breast abscess. The abscess was incised and drained based on fine-needle aspiration cytology and ultrasonography revealed it as pyogenic abscess. Ziehl-Neelsen stain (ZN stain) of the pus sample showed acid-fast bacilli. Now, she has been started on antitubercular treatment.
以乳腺肿块为表现的结核病是一种罕见疾病。这种情况通常发生在育龄期女性。除非及时进行细致的检查，否则诊断相当困难。它们常被误诊为恶性肿瘤。我们报告一例19岁患有结核性乳腺脓肿的女孩。基于细针穿刺细胞学检查对脓肿进行切开引流，超声检查显示为化脓性脓肿。脓液样本的萋-尼染色（ZN染色）显示抗酸杆菌。现在，她已开始接受抗结核治疗。
