Abstract:
A variety of cutaneous lesions have been described in Behcet's disease including erythema nodosum-like lesion, pseudofolliculitis, papulopustular eruption, subcutaneous thrombophlebitis, erythema multiforme-like lesion and pyoderma gangrenosum, etc. Pyoderma gangrenosum has rarely been reported in association with Behcet's disease. However, there is an extensive clinical and histological overlap between Behcet's disease and pyoderma gangrenosum. We report a case of Behcet's disease associated with pyoderma gangrenosuma.
