Abstract
Summary: Mycobacterial infection is relatively common among patients maintained on haemodialysis and may present in uncommon locations and acquire an unusual course. We present a patient in whom a breast mass was found to be caused by primary mycobacterial infection. This is to our knowledge the first report on breast mycobacterial infection in a haemodialysis patient.Keywords
