A routine mammogram identified changes thought to be due to a lymph node, which was confirmed on biopsy. The lymph node was infiltrated with macrophages and showed fragmented acid-fast bacilli. The patient had been treated for leprosy some years before and was still taking thalidomide for erythema nodosum leprosum. Leprosy-associated lymphadenopathy may be identified on routine breast screening.
