Abstract

Behcet's Syndrome (BS) is a pathological condition that encompasses a diverse spectrum of clinical manifestations of a polysystemic nature. It is a chronically progressive inflammatory vasculitis, characterized mainly by recurrent episodes of oral and genital aphthous ulcers, ocular involvement, and other clinical expressions, including skin lesions and gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of this study is to present an atypical case of BS, as well as its correlation with the medical literature, to elucidate particularities of relevant significance for medical practice.
