Abstract
|
|
|
Tuberculosis of the breast is an extremely rare disease. Incidence of the disease is about 0.5% among entire breast-disease in Korea and most of which involved persons 20 to 40 years of age. But it rarely developed in male, elderly patient and
prepubertal woman.
In may be primary-confined to the breast, or secondary to tuberculosis elsewhere. Because of it's diagnostic difficulty, tuberculosis of the breast is confused to actinomycosis of the breast, abscess and carcinoma, so it is only diagnosed by
histopathologic reports and(or) inoculation in experimental animal.
We experienced 3 cases of tuberculosis of the breast which was treated with anti-micobacterial medication combined with surgical excision.
