Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma in Behçet's disease

Abstract

Thrombosis in BehÇet's disease (BD) is not uncommon and venous occlussions affecting the venae cavae and their tributaries may result in during the course of the disease. Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma is characterized with a nodule or plaque which may lead to a painful ulceration. The development of the Mali's syndrome, an entity of Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma, usually follows stasis dermatitis and occurs on the lower extremities. In this report, we present a Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma case a 25-year-old male during the fourth year of the diagnosis with BD. The association of Pseudo Kaposi's sarcoma and BehÇet's disease has never- to our knowledge- been reported before.Thrombosis in BehÇet's disease (BD) is not uncommon and venous occlussions affecting the venae cavae and their tributaries may result in during the course of the disease.
