Behcet's disease with Sweet's syndrome-like presentation-a report of six cases

Abstract

We describe six cases of Behcet's disease, which showed Sweet's syndrome‐like features. The clinical findings in our patients closely resemble those of the cases described in previous reports on Sweet's syndrome. However, oral and genital mucosal involvement, non‐tenderness of the lesions and a pustular eruption elsewhere made us consider Behcet's disease. Besides the clinical findings, vasculitis was clearly demonstrated in the skin biopsy specimens.
