Abstract
Behçet's disease is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder with an unknown etiology. It affects many organs and is characterized by recurrent attacks. Pulmonary artery aneurysms occur more frequent in males, and it is one of the rare pulmonary complications of Behçet's disease. It has a poor prognosis, and is also one of the leading causes of death from Behçet's disease. Here we report a case of suspected Behçet's disease diagnosed by a manifestation of a pulmonary artery aneurysm in a 37-year-old woman.
