RESUMO
Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by various symptoms, including orogenital ulcers, uveitis, arthritis, skin lesions, and the involvement of the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. BD has been associated with malignancies such as leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's disease, and lymphosarcoma. The rarity of association with B-cell lymphoma may also be added to the list, given our findings in this case report. Patients with vasculitides benefit from immunosuppressive therapy that can minimize disease and may prevent disease manifestations and exacerbations. However, there may be an increased risk of cancer development, which calls for consideration while starting and maintaining this population of patients on immunosuppressive therapy.
