Inflammatory pseudotumor of the terminal ileum mimicking malignancy in a patient with Behçetʹs disease CT and pathological findings

Behçetʹs disease is an idiopathic, recurrent multisystem syndrome characterized by oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, and ocular inflammation. Small bowel involvement may occur in 1% of patients with aphthous ulceration which may mimic Crohnʹs disease. We report a case of a patient with Behçetʹs disease with small bowel pathology which simulated a mass and at surgery was an inflammatory pseudotumor. Inflammatory pseudotumors can be mistaken for a malignancy as was the case in this patient.
