Abstract

Behcet`s disease is a rare systemic disease of unknown cause and it is a progressive disorder with episodes of activity and remission. The major features are oral and genital ulceration and skin and eye lesions. Pulmonary involvement is rare, and we have experienced a 38 year old female patient who had undergone right lower lobe lobectomy due to extensive, rapidly growing pulmonary thromboemboli and pseudoaneurysm in pulmonary artery.
