Resumo
Tuberculous mastitis (TM) is a rare cause of breast disease. The test sensitivity for TM is low and sometimes characterized by idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. Both have different treatments; however, many patients are treated with presumptive TM (P-TM). We present fifteen women with confirmed TM or P-TM. We found 4% (5/124) of TM and 8% (10/124) of P-TM, grouped according to their diagnosis, with no differences between them, except for follow-up and treatment time. P-TM is an entity that must be considered based on clinical and radiological suspicion and is associated with presumptive pathological data.
