RESUMO
This study describes the experience of mammary, testicle and adnexal tuberculosis [TB] diagnosed by histological characteristics in a rural district hospital in Southern Ethiopia over a period of 7 years. During the same period, a total of 5589 TB cases were diagnosed. Fourteen cases of breast TB with a prevalence of 0.25% [95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.14-0.43], 8 cases of testicular TB [prevalence 0.14, [95% CI: 0.06-0.29]] and two ovarian TB [prevalence: 0.035 [95% CI: 0.001-0.15]]. The breast, testes and adnexal TB may mimic other conditions. Proper diagnosis is encouraged because the disease is curable with anti-TB drugs.
