[Bechet's disease. Case report]

Abstract

Objective: To report one case of a rare disease.

Methods: 39-year-old male patient presenting with the suspicion of sexually transmitted disease. We show several pictures of a clinical case diagnosed and treated in our hospital. We performed a bibliographic review on the disease and present its etiology, diagnosis and treatment.

Results: We concluded it was Bechet's disease because of the past medical history, clinical presentation, and diagnostic tests (positive pathergy test).

Conclusions: Although it is a rare disease, we should always think of the diagnosis of Bechet's disease in a patient with genital ulcers non responsive to treatment.
