ABSTRACT
Behçet’s Disease (BD) is a rare, chronic, systemic vasculitis with diverse manifestations. The patient was a 29-year-old male with a 10-year history of recurrent oral ulcers and gastrointestinal symptoms, managed as different clinical scenarios prior to reaching a final diagnosis of Intestinal BD. Though BD is a diagnosis of exclusion, it should be included in the differential diagnoses of systemic disorders presenting with recurrent oral ulcers.
