Although the gastrointestinal and systemic features of Behcet''s syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease overlap to a considerable extent, they are generally viewed as 2 distinct diseases. Three members of a family who had inflammatory bowel lesions, 2 of whom met criteria for Behcet''s syndrome, were evaluated. The propositus had classic features of both Crohn''s ileocolitis and Behcet''s syndrome. A daughter, who never met criteria for Behcet''s syndrome, had undergone colectomy for ulcerative colitis. A 2nd daughter had classic features of Behcet''s syndrome, including recurrent episodes of colitis with distinct aphthous ulcers in the colon. Inflammatory bowel disease and Behcet''s syndrome may be closely related and part of a spectrum of disease rather than distinct disease entities.
