The combination of pulmonary artery aneurysm and intracardiac thrombus is rare in Behçet’s disease. We report on a 39-year-old man from Iraq with a clinical diagnosis of Behçet’s disease based on a nonhealing mouth ulcer, recurrent venous thromboses in both lower limbs, and pulmonary embolism. Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography demonstrated a pulmonary artery aneurysm and a transoesophageal echocardiogram revealed a right ventricular thrombus. After receipt of medical treatment, the pulmonary artery aneurysm and intracardiac thrombus showed partial and complete radiological resolution, respectively.

貝賽特氏症（Behçet’s disease）患者很少同時出現肺動脈瘤及心腔內血栓。本文報告一名伊拉克籍39 歲男性因不能癒合的口腔潰瘍，雙腿出現復發性靜脈血栓形成及肺栓塞，而被診斷為患有貝賽特氏 症。CT肺血管造影顯示有肺動脈瘤，經食管超聲心動圖發現有右心室血栓。治療後肺動脈瘤有部分 減退的跡象，而心腔內血栓則完全消退。
