Intraductal papilloma of breast with carcinoma in situ and lymph node tuberculosis: a case report

Tuberculosis remains prevalent in developing countries, and this patient's history of pulmonary tuberculosis spans over 10 years. The co-occurrence of breast cancer and axillary tuberculous lymphadenitis is unusual. A prompt and accurate diagnosis of breast cancer is vital, involving preoperative imaging, biopsy, and pathological assessment during and after surgery. Once diagnosed, a treatment plan tailored to the characteristics of carcinoma <i>in situ</i> should be implemented, alongside concurrent treatment for tuberculosis, to improve the patient's prognosis.
