Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) and breast cancer are common diseases in developing countries. Their coexistence in the breast and axillary lymph nodes is, however, rare. It can lead to overstaging of the breast cancer. Treatment compliance may also be difficult when two major illnesses exist. Five cases of coexistent breast cancer and TB are presented with regard to presentation and outcome, with a review of the literature.Entities:
