Abstract:
Behcet's disease is a systemic vascular disorder induced by autoimmune mechanisms. As a vascular complication of Behcet's disease, thrombophlebitis has been commonly reported. Stasis dermatitis results from prolonged venous insufficiency including thrombophlebitis, which implies the possibilities of association between stasis dermatitis and Behcet's disease. We present a 51-year-old man with Behcet's disease accompanied with asymptomatic brownish ill-defined patch on the left leg. This case suggests that stasis dermatitis might be associated with Behcet's disease by complication of vascular system.
