ABSTRACT
Breast tuberculosis is a rare disease. It usually mimics carcinoma breast in its presentation both clinically as well as radiologically. Since breast conservation is possible in tuberculous mastitis and it may be a presenting feature of HIV, it is important to recognise this condition. One case of a 50-year female despite strong clinical suspicion of malignancy though could not be histologically proven is reported here. Following a breast conserving surgery, Langhans' giant cells were seen on histopathology. Patient was started on antituberculous therapy and responded well.
