RESUMO
Behcet's disease is a multisystem inflammatory disease that can rarely affect the cardiovascular system leading to bad prognosis. We report the case of a 23-year-old male who presented with hemoptysis and recurrent oral and genital ulcers. He was found to have multiple right ventricular thrombi and left lower lobe pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm and was diagnosed as Behcet's disease. He was successfully treated with warfarin, cyclophosphamide, and corticosteroids in addition to left lower lobe posterior segmentectomy and resection of the pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm
