    AbstractTwo cases of mammary tuberculosis (TB) are presented, one of them with additional pleural and lymph node involvement. Both were HIV-negative, with no history of previous TB, with long-standing breast lesions. Both presented a successful outcome with antituberculosis treatment. Breast TB is a very rare pathology that is difficult to diagnose. The cases are presented to consider their differential diagnosis in patients with chronic mastitis and/or nodular or ulcerated lesions of the breast. Multidisciplinary management is recommended.
