Abstract EN
We report the first description of CT findings of axillary tuberculous lymphadenitis confirmed by the pathological specimen.
The breast cancer screening examination is one of the prime methods of detection of axillary tuberculous lymphadenitis.
The most common site of axillary tuberculous lymphadenitis is the deep axilla.
Screening mammography often fails to cover the whole axilla.
The presence on the contrast-enhanced CT of unilateral multiple circumscribed dense nodes, some of which have large and dotted calcifications, might suggest tuberculous lymphadenitis in axillary region.
