Mammary tuberculosis in the young: A case report and literature review

摘要

Tuberculosis (TB) of the breast is a rare condition with few cases reported outside of Asia. Its presence in juveniles is even more uncommon. Despite this, it is often easily treatable.

We present the case of a 16 year old girl with TB of the breast and review the literature currently available.
