[A case of "colitis-like intestinal Behçet's disease" accompanied by ulcerative colitis after the development of myelodysplastic syndrome].

Le résumé fourni par la source

A 71-year-old man developed ulcerative colitis (UC) at 48 years of age. As a steroid-dependent case with poor UC control, the patient was treated with azathioprine, which resulted in clinical remission. However, a blood test revealed pancytopenia. Bone marrow examination confirmed the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). During the patient's clinical course, multiple round ulcers appeared in the terminal ileum. We suspected concomitant "colitis-like intestinal Behçet's disease" (BD). Treatment with adalimumab resolved the ulcers. To the best of our knowledge, this is a rare case of intestinal BD accompanying UC after MDS.
