    Abstract

    To diagnose extrapulmonary tuberculosis is often an exhausting task; that’s true for tuberculous mastitis as well. Lack of clinical suspicion, diverse cytological presentation, mostly paucibacillary lesions and limitations of nucleic acid amplification tests are the obstacles to accurate management. Careful FNA cytology and dedicated AFB search may prove conclusive in resource limited set ups as well. Three cases in our institute were diagnosed by good level of commitment and this simple work up.
