Abstract
Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystem disease with typically nondeforming articular manifestations. Erosive arthropathy is an uncommon condition in patients with BD. We report herein an unusual case of long-standing BD with extensive erosive arthropathy radiologically mimicking psoriatic arthritis.
