Pseudo\u2010Behcet's syndrome refers to a condition that mimics these clinical features but arises from distinct etiologies. We present a case of a 33\u2010year\u2010old male with year\u2010long recurrent oral ulcers and intermittent abdominal pain, followed by scrotal ulcers, severe fatigue, weight loss and appetite loss. Chest imaging demonstrated bilateral consolidations with cavitation and right\u2010sided pleural effusion, prompting consideration of a Behcet's mimic. Thoracoscopic pleural biopsy revealed acid\u2010fast bacilli, confirming tuberculosis. A diagnosis of Pseudo\u2010Behcet's secondary to tuberculosis was made. Initiation of anti\u2010tubercular therapy led to complete resolution of symptoms within 4\u2009months. A literature review identified nine cases (including the index case) in which tuberculosis presented with Behcet's\u2010like features, underscoring the complex association between Behcet's disease and tuberculosis. This case underscores the need to consider tuberculosis as a Behcet's disease mimic, particularly in endemic areas, to prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate immunosuppression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/rcr2.70469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,23]],"date-time":"2026-01-23T07:31:31Z","timestamp":1769153491000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tuberculosis Masquerading as Behcet's Disease\u2010Pseudo Bechet's Syndrome: A Case\u2010Based Review of Literature"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Rinoosha","family":"Rachel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonology Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals  Hitech city Hyderabad India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naveen","family":"Polavarapu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals  Hitech city Hyderabad India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jithin","family":"Mathew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals  Hitech city Hyderabad India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8017-3697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Virender Pratibh","family":"Prasad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonology Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals  Hitech city Hyderabad India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3679-9497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Venkata Nagarjuna","family":"Maturu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonology Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals  Hitech city Hyderabad India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1744666X.2016.1205486"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0733-8635(02)00061-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-014-2998-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.lgt.0000225897.29466.e4"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1756-185X.12121"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2169\/internalmedicine.53.1663"},{"issue":"10","key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","article-title":"Beh\u00e7et's Disease\u2010Like Syndrome Secondary to Microbial Infection: A Case Report and Review of the Literature","volume":"8","author":"Zhang L.","year":"2015","journal-title":"International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm-conference.2022.205.1_MeetingAbstracts.A1898"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2023-255669"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/249157"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thorax.56.7.572"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1610-0387.2009.07040.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0007-0971(88)90073-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3906\/sag-2010-311"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/2528676"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_8_17_1","article-title":"Beh\u00e7et's Disease and Tuberculosis: A Complex Relationship","volume":"7","author":"Freitas S.
