[Tuberculosis of the breast].

The authors report a case of tuberculosis of the breast in a patient aged 71. The case described is an example of a rare form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis whose diagnosis can pose problems. In view of the recent increase in the incidence of tuberculosis in certain developed countries and the growth in the proportion of cases of extra pulmonary tuberculosis especially in HIV sero-positive individuals an observation such as this is useful in that it recalls for clinicians the fact that tuberculosis may present in very unusual forms which are easily forgotten.

A wide range of extrathoracic localizations can also occur and when they are the initial manifestation, may lead to misdiagnosis. We observed a rare case of peritoneal sarcoidosis revealed by a surgical emergency.
