ABSTRACT
Behçet’s disease is a multi-systemic vasculitis that could potentially
involve any organ. Mucosal ulcers are among the most
common presenting symptoms which usually precede, even by
years, the florid onset of the disease.
We report the case of an 21 years old male who presented
with a first episode of genital and oral ulcers, which represents a
diagnostic challenge for such a fairly uncommon entity.
