• Abstract:

    

  Behçet's Syndrome (BS) is a multisystem inflammatory disease with mucosal involvement. Its cause is unknown and there is no specific test for the diagnosis of the disease. Lesions in the oral mucosa are usually the first signs that the disease manifests, so it is extremely important for Dental Surgeons to be aware of this syndrome. We report here the case of a patient with Behçet Syndrome, who recently presented oral ulcers characteristic of the disease, with the aim of emphasizing oral lesions to assist in the early diagnosis of the disease through Dental Surgeons.
