title: Incomplete Behcet's syndrome in the differential diagnosis of genital ulceration and postcoital bleeding. A case report.
abstract: Behcet's syndrome occasionally produces significant vaginal bleeding requiring operative intervention. Our patient had genital and oral ulcerations but did not have uveitis or iritis, therefore representing incomplete Behcet's syndrome. The oral and genital lesions associated with Behcet's syndrome resemble those produced by herpes infection and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of genital ulceration.
