Popis: Behcet’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder effecting many organ systems1,2. Clinical manifestations of Behcet’s disease may occur concurrently or subsequently. Generally oral aphthous lesions are the initial symptoms of Behcet’s disease and other manifestations occur subsequently within varying periods during the course of the disease3,4. However, it is a great dilemma to predict if patients presenting only with recurrent aphthous stomatitis will indeed develop Behcet’s disease in the future or not5—6.
