[LIVER ABSCESSES IN A PATIENT WITH BEHCET'S DISEASE].
Behcet's disease is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder manifested by oral and genital ulcers along with heterogeneous involvement of various organs including eyes, skin, and blood vessels. Aseptic abscesses are a rare manifestation of autoinflammatory diseases and have been reported in isolated cases as part of Behcet's disease. We present a case of an 18-year-old patient with a new diagnosis of Behcet's disease who presented with aseptic liver abscesses. After an extensive negative infectious workup, the patient was treated with steroids, resulting in rapid and complete clinical and laboratory resolution. This case highlights the importance of clinician awareness of this rare complication to achieve correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
