“…The patient had no history of alcohol abuse. Meanwhile, several cases of BD with severe destructive arthropathy have been reported, 12,13 although the arthropathy in BD has been regarded as usually not destructive. Although identification of the cause of the osteonecrosis in this case was difficult, it might be most plausible that the osteonecrosis in this case was relevant to possible BD for the abovementioned reasons.…”

We report a case of possible Behçet's disease (BD) preceded by arthropathy for 5 years. A 29-year-old man experienced right knee swelling and pain since April 1999. Thorough examinations were performed, yet a diagnosis was not established. In December 2004 he experienced recurrent aphtha, following folliculitis-like skin lesions. A human leukocyte antigen examination revealed a positive B51 allele and his illness was diagnosed as possible Behçet disease. Colchicine was administered and his symptoms were ameliorated.

“…Joint involvement in BD is usually recurrent, inflammatory, symmetric or asymmetric, and mono or oligoarthritis [1][2][3][4][5]. Erosive arthritis has been rarely reported in patients with BD [1,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Sometimes, BD can mimic rheumatoid arthritis with polyarticular involvement [8].…”

Background: Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic multisystemic vasculitis that may emerge with musculoskeletal system involvements, oral-genital recurrent aphthae, mucocutaneous lesions, and ocular symptoms. Arthritis in BD is usually non-erosive and not related to crippling disease. Erosive arthropathy is a very rare manifestation of BD. Case presentation: Herein, we present a 60-year-old male patient suffering from BD for 33 years with erosive arthritis in his second metacarpophalangeal joint. After we assessed his finger by X-ray, we diagnosed erosive arthropathy quickly by musculoskeletal ultrasonography. In addition, a systematic literature search was performed via the PubMed and Scopus databases using the keywords, 'Behçet's disease [AND] erosive/destructive arthritis'. Conclusions: Erosive arthritis due to BD can be evaluated by ultrasonography in an easy, fast and cost-effective manner. The literature search between 1985 and December 2019 revealed a total of 19 patients with peripheral erosive arthropathy related to BD and the characteristics of the results are summarized in the paper.
