Abstract
Trminal ileum and cecum are the most frequently involved portions of the gastrointestinal tract in Behqet's disease. Esophageal involvement in Behqet's disease is very uncommon and only a few cases have previously been reported. We have observed a case with this disease. A 25-year-old female patient who was diagnosed as having Behqet's disease 7 years before had dysphagia and weight loss of about 10 kg for 4 months. Esophagogastroduodenoscopic examination revealed diffuse ulceration and mucosal nodularities in esophagus which suspected esophageal cancer. But repeated biopsies showed lymphocytic infiltration around vessels in ulcerative lesions. She was treated with conservative managements.
