Giant right atrial thrombus unmasking Behçet's disease: A rare cardiovascular manifestation.
Behçet's disease is a systemic vasculitis in which intracardiac thrombus formation is a rare but potentially life-threatening manifestation, predominantly involving the right heart. We report the case of a 37-year-old male presenting with pulmonary embolism associated with extensive central ven…
HSP27 in autoimmune diseases: Context-dependent regulation and clinical potential.
Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is a crucial member of the small heat shock protein family with a molecular weight of approximately 27 kDa, playing key roles in cellular stress response, protein homeostasis, and cell survival regulation. Recent studies have revealed that HSP27 plays a complex dual rol…
Primary anetoderma as a possible preclinical cutaneous clue of Behçet's disease: evidence suggesting early microvascular-driven dermal elastolysis.
Anetoderma is a rare elastolytic dermatosis characterized by focal loss of dermal elastic fibers leading to localized flaccid, atrophic, or herniated skin lesions. Although it may occur as a primary disorder or secondary to inflammatory dermatoses, infections, or trauma, immune-mediated vascular inj…
[Gecacitinib as a bridging treatment to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome with Behçet's syndrome: a case report].
Isolated granulomatous pulmonary artery vasculitis associated with Hughes-Stovin syndrome: a case report.
Hughes-Stovin syndrome (HSS) is an exceptionally rare vasculitis, characterized by pulmonary artery aneurysms with in situ thrombosis and is increasingly regarded as part of the vascular Behcet spectrum. Diagnosis remains challenging due to its rarity, lack of validated diagnostic criteria, and over…
Glymphatic dysfunction as a potential mechanistic link to cognitive ımpairment in Behçet's disease: a hypothesis.
Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic multisystem inflammatory disease in which cognitive impairment is increasingly recognized but remains incompletely understood. Although cognitive dysfunction is more common in patients with Neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD), it has also been reported in patien…
Peripheral ossifying fibroma mimicking oral Kaposi's sarcoma in an immunosuppressed patient with Behçet's disease: a case report.
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is an HHV-8-associated angioproliferative neoplasm occurring preferentially in immunosuppressed individuals, with oral involvement documented in up to 65% of HIV/AIDS patients. Several benign reactive gingival lesions, including peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF), may clinicall…
Uveitis as a Correlate of Systemic Manifestations in Patients Diagnosed with Behçet's Disease.
Uveitis is common in Behçet's disease (BD), but risk stratification of potentially severe systemic disease by ocular involvement is still impossible. Here, we aimed to determine whether the risk for systemic manifestations of BD in Patients Diagnosed with Behçet's Disease (PDBD) depended o…
