Behcet's disease and comorbidity: internal case reports and literature review

摘要

The aim of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics of two patients with malignancy related to Behcet's disease. We reviewed literary-reported cases of Behcet's disease related to myelodysplastic syndrome, neoplasm and leukemia. Our own observation included two cases of comorbid conditions of Behcet's disease. The first patient with Behcet's disease had been examined concurrent development of intestinal tumor. The second one was diagnosed to have chromic myeloleukemia. The malignant transformation of Behcet's disease patients, both solid and hematological, is rather rare. Further accumulation of relevant date and its analysis will allow to find out the relationship between malignant disease and chemotherapy in Behcet's disease.
