Behçet's disease is known as a vasculitic pathology with a usually systemic course. It is described as intestinal Behçet's disease in the presence of gastrointestinal system involvement, such as intestinal ulcers, hemorrhage or perforation. Prevalence of intestinal Behçet's disease is very rare in Turkish patients and accounts for less than 1% of the patients. It may mimic inflammatory bowel disease or present as massive hemorrhage. Intestinal ulcers are mostly seen in the terminal ileum and cecum and may be complicated with perforation. Herein, we report two cases with intestinal Behçet's disease, one of which was diagnosed as Behçet's disease while under investigation for the etiology of intestinal disease.
