Abstract

Latuberculose mammaire est une affection rare. Elle pose un problème de diagnostic différentiel avec le cancer du sein du fait que la clinique et l'imagerie ne sont pas spécifiques. La tuberculose mammaire doit être évoquée surtout dans les pays endémiques ou chez le sujet immunodéprimé. Nous rapportons un cas de tuberculose mammaire chez une femme ménopausée pour soulever le problème de diagnostic qu'elle suscite.

English Title: Breast tuberculosis: about a case

English Abstract

Breast tuberculosis is rare. It poses a problem of differential diagnosis because it may be mistaken for breast cancer as clinical examination and diagnostic imaging are not specific. Breast tuberculosis should be suspected especially in endemic countries or in immunosuppressed individuals. We report the case of a menopausal woman with breast tuberculosis in order to raise concern for diagnosis.
