Abstract (2. Language): 
Tuberculosis is a major health problem and it is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in all age groups. Extra-pulmonary TB involving the breast is extremely rare. Clinical examination usually fails to differentiate breast TB from fibro adenoma. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and histopathological examination may reveal caseating epithelioid cell granulomas and acidfast bacilli (AFB).Tuberculosis of the breast constitutes 3.0-4.5% of all breast lesions, as reported by various studies done in the endemic areas of tuberculosis. Although, tuberculosis of the breast is considered a disease of the developing world, increasing cases of tuberculosis in developed countries also prevalent because of the migration of infected population from endemic zones and increasing number of immunocompromised patients. Anti-tuberculosis therapy is the main treatment, and surgery is used only in patients who fail to respond to medical treatment and or involve extensive tissue damage. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the breast lesion is an important diagnostic tool of breast tuberculosis.
