Tuberculosis is commonly seen in developing nations. However, extrapulmonary presentations of this disease are comparatively fewer, and isolated cases of tuberculosis localized to the breast are even rarer. Herein, a case of an immunocompetent Indian female is presented; she came with complaints of a localized right breast swelling with tenderness, which was diagnosed after a detailed clinical and lab workup as tuberculosis of the breast. She was initiated on the appropriate antituberculous treatment per the national policy.
