Am J Gastroenterol. 2001 Feb;96(2):591-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1572-0241.2001.03564.x.

Abstract

Behçet'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 Behçet's disease with both chronic pancreatitis and abdominal aorta pseudoaneurysm.
