Behcet's disease is a multisystemic inflammatory disease characterized with recurrent oral ulcer, genital ulcer, and multiple organ involvement. Aplastic anemia is one of the rarest complications of Behcet's disease. There were only several reports about Behcet's disease associated myelodysplatic syndrome worldwide. Moreover, aplastic anemia in intestinal Behcet's disease was rarely reported. Here, we present a case of aplastic anemia with trisomy 8 and trisomy 9 in intestinal Behcet's disease and a review of the literatures. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case ever reported in Korea.
