Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) was performed under aseptic conditions and on microscopy, aspirate from left breast lump showed dense acute inflammatory cells, giant cells,macrophages, many scattered squamous cells,few a nucleated squames, occasional ductal epithelial cells, many degenerated cells and RBCs.Ziehl Neelsen (Z.N.) stain preparation was positive for Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB).
