Abstract
This study describes the experience of mammary, testicle and adnexal tuberculosis (TB) diagnosed by histological characteristics in a rural district hospital in Southern Ethiopia over a period of 7years. During the same period, a total of 5589 TB cases were diagnosed. Fourteen cases of breast TB with a prevalence of 0.25% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.14–0.43), 8 cases of testicular TB (prevalence 0.14, [95% CI: 0.06–0.29]) and two ovarian TB (prevalence: 0.035 [95% CI: 0.001–0.15]). The breast, testes and adnexal TB may mimic other conditions. Proper diagnosis is encouraged because the disease is curable with anti-TB drugs.
