Abstract
Behcet's disease is a chronic, recurrent, systemic disease characterized by orogenital ulcers and oculocutaneous inflammatory lesions. Cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, articular, and GI involvement are common features , but pancreatic involvement is very rare. We present a case of Behcet's di sease with both chronic pancreatitis and abdominal aorta pseudoaneurysm.
