Behcet's disease, a multisystem inflammatory disease, was originally described in 1937 by Hulusi Behcet as "recurrent oral aphthous ulcers,and hypopyon-uveitis." The primary target organs are the mucous membranes of the mouth and genitalia and the eye; therefore, this disease holds great interest for dermatologists, diagnostic gynecologist, and ophthalmologists. The disease , however, is no respector of specialty boundaries. Whenever the brain and its menings, the skin and its vessels, or the synovial membranes of the joint are involved, behcet's diseases enters the province of the neurologist and rheumtologist as well as the dermatologist.
