Tramontini","Alessandro Finkelsztejn","Juliana Á. Duarte","Guilherme T. Santos","Rafael Roesler","Gustavo R. Isolan"],"abstract":"Background: Behçet's disease (BD) is an inflammatory multisystem disease with unknown etiology, and consists of a TRIAD comprising recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis. In some cases, the disease affects the central nervous system, called Neuro-Behçet Disease (NBD). Few cases of NBD simulating a brain tumor have been previously reported. Case Description: Here, we describe the case of a 46-year-old male patient with a previous diagnosis of brain tumor who was later diagnosed for BD. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of differential diagnosis of lesions with tumoral features. Checking for the possibility of NBD may help avoiding biopsy in these types of cases.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/67cfb626-cd90-4b3d-bb14-4d9f0a263540/featured/hero-1782420922502.png","publishDate":"2017-06-05T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/sni.sni_3_17","categories":["Neurovascular","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/67cfb626-cd90-4b3d-bb14-4d9f0a263540/pdf"}
