Abstract

Hughes-Stovin syndrome is a very rare condition with no defined diagnostic criteria. We present the case of a 26-year-old man who had haemoptysis revealing Hughes-Stovin syndrome. We will consider the aetiology, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of this disease.

Learning points: Hughes-Stovin syndrome is a very rare disorder of unknown aetiology which can be fatal.It is considered a variant of Behcet's disease.Early diagnosis and treatment improve prognosis.
