Tuberculous Axillary Lymphadenitis Coexistence in Patient with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast: A Case Report
Abstract
Axillary lymph node enlargement in breast cancer patients is not always metastatic disease. This is a reported case of a patient who had ipsilateral tuberculous axillary Iymphadenitis coexistence with an invasive ductal carcinoma in the upper inner quadrant of the right breast. Accurate diagnosis has helped in down staging the carcinoma of the breast and also in identifying curable disease.
