| Abstract |
Abstract Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic
relapsing systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. BD is very rarely
associated with neoplastic diseases. We report the case of a 39-year-old
woman who had been treated for BD for 3 years. She presented with
relapsing oral and genital lesions and persistent high-grade fever
which had lasted for 1 month. The possible cause of the exacerbation
of BD and fever in this patient was a mature ovarian teratoma.
To our knowledge this is the first report of a patient with BD
associated with a ovarian teratoma.
