A. Aessopos et al., Renal pseudotumor simulating malignancy in a patient with adamantiades-Behcet's disease - Case report and review of the literature, AM J NEPHR, 20(3), 2000, pp. 217-221
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.
