Abstract EN
We present three patients with Behçet’s disease associated with intracardiac thrombus and pulmonary vascular involvement.
One of these patients had also Budd-Chiari syndrome.
All patients were treated with corticosteroid plus monthly intravenous cyclophosphamide as first line treatment and with no recurrences.
Immunosuppressive therapy was successful in the treatment of intracardiac thrombus and also in the regression of pulmonary vascular thromboses in these patients.
Intracardiac thrombus in Behçet’s disease is rarely seen.
Behçet’s disease should be remembered in the differential diagnosis of the patients with intracardiac mass, especially in patients from the Mediterranean and Middle East populations.
