Twenty-one cases of mammary tuberculosis are reported and the attendant clinical and histological difficulties described. It is probable that contemporary clinicians would now make the clinical diagnosis of breast abscess or carcinoma. Furthermore, the histological features (without demonstration or culture of the organism) may be confused with those granulomatous epithelloid reactions seen in mammary duct ectasia (comedo cell mastitis, plasma cell mastitis) and in traumatic fat necrosis.
报告了21例乳腺结核病例，并描述了随之而来的临床和组织学方面的困难。当代临床医生现在很可能会做出乳腺脓肿或癌的临床诊断。此外，组织学特征（未证实或培养出该病原体）可能会与在乳腺导管扩张症（粉刺样细胞乳腺炎、浆细胞乳腺炎）和创伤性脂肪坏死中所见的肉芽肿性上皮样反应相混淆。
