Behcet was a Turkish dermatologist who first described the triad of relapsing iridocyclitis with recurrent oral and genital ulcerations in 1937. The gastrointestinal manifestations of Behcet's disease (BD) have become recognized as a distinctive type of Behcet's syndrome called intestinal Behcet's syndrome. We describe a rare case of Behçet's disease with rectal ulcer and discuss the difficulties in making a differential diagnosis between Behçet's disease and the inflammatory bowel diseases.

Behçet hastalığının klasik triadı sayılan tekrarlayan oral ve genital ülserasyonlar, tekrarlayan iridosiklit bir Türk dermatoloğu olan Hulusi Behçet tarafından ilk olarak 1937 yılında tanımlanmıstır. Hastalık gastrointestinal sistemi lokal veya difüz olarak tutabilir. Biz bu yazımızda klinikte ender olarak rastlanılan, rektal ülserli bir Behçet hastasını ayırıcı tanıları ile taktim ediyoruz.
