Abstract
Objective: To report a clinical case of a chronic renal patient with mammary tuberculosis. Case details: The patient has chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis, who presented nodulation in the right breast, with a firm, hardened and painful consistency on superficial palpation. The diagnosis was made through the suggestive clinic, culture for Koch's bacillus and histopathology. The treatment performed was the standard for extra-pulmonary tuberculosis with Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide and Etambutol for two months and continuity with Rifampicin and Isoniazid for another four months. The patient evolved with clinical improvement and reduction of the nodule. Final considerations: Breast tuberculosis is a rare variant of tuberculosis. It is equivalent to less than 0.1% of the injuries of this organ. The patient underwent conventional tuberculostatic therapy and showed a good response. This report contributed to characterize breast tuberculosis and to correlate the incidence of tuberculosis in renal patients. Thus, there is an urgent need to conduct research on the relationship between chronic renal failure and tuberculosis.
