RESULTS Three cases were diagnosed as Tularemia, Cat-Scratch Disease (CSD) and idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) respectively. CONCLUSION In countries with high incidence of TB, TB is considered firstly in differential diagnosis of granulomatous diseases. Detailed anamnesis and physical examinations should be done in differential diagnosis of granulomatous diseases, and TB must be excluded.
