Abstract
|
|
|
Behcet¡¯s disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that is rarely observed in association with leukemia and other hematologic disorders. We recently encountered a patient who presented with BD associated with myelofibrosis that was not attributable to other underlying causes. The patient was a 49-year-old man with a 3-year history of probable BD diagnosed by clinical findings; he was admitted because of anemia and splenomegaly. Bone marrow examination revealed myelofibrosis. After steroid therapy, the patient¡¯s symptoms of BD improved, and his hemoglobin level recovered. Therefore, we believe that the patient had BD with bone marrow involvement.
