Abstract
Adamantiades-Behcet's disease is a multisystem recurrent syndrome with vasc ulitis being the underlying histopathological lesion. We report on a patien t with Behcet's disease who developed a renal mass raising the suspicion of a malignant neoplasm, The pathologic examination revealed an inflammatory pseudotumor. The concurrent presentation of these two entities seems to be more than coincidental. Copyright (C) 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel.
