Abstract
Cutaneous and soft tissue lesions are uncommon manifestations of brucellosis. Though breast involvement in animal brucellosis is not uncommon, involvement of the breast in human brucellosis is extremely rare. We report a case of breast abscess in a 39-year-old female caused by Brucella melitensis. Treatment with combination of trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole (TMP/ SMX; cotrimoxazole) and doxycycline for 3 months resulted in clinical cure.
