Prevalence of OSAS in morbidly obese women is very high. Our results show the significant correlation between BMI and AHI in morbidly obese women. Uvula diameter and retropharynx soft tissue are the upper airway parameters with higher relationship with pulmonary function. A reduction in the cross-sectional area of the airway at the level of the oropharynx could be related to the severity of OSAS in morbidly obese women.

Behçet's disease is a vasculitis of unknown origin that was traditionally defined by oral and genital ulcers and uveitis. We describe a case of a patient with a diagnosis of Behçet's syndrome who presented a palpable lesion in the right breast with inflammatory signs. X-ray findings posed a differential diagnosis between tumoral and inflammatory pathology. The pathological findings confirmed a small-vessel vasculitis. We found two reports of breast involvement by this disease in the literature. Our patient was studied by mammogram and sonogram which together with clinical history are important to prevent delay in diagnosis and unnecessary therapeutic procedures.
