title: Atypical Behçet's disease with peripheral erosive arthropathy and pyoderma gangrenosum.
abstract: We report a 52-year-old male Caucasian who presented with a peripheral erosive arthritis, then pyoderma gangrenosum, and six years later pancolitis and orogenital ulcers. The case illustrates an overlap that may exist between Behçet's syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. In either condition seronegative erosive peripheral joint disease is an uncommon presenting feature.
