Behcet`s disease is a systemic vascular disorder induced by autoimmune mechanisms. As a vascular complication of Behcet`s disease, thrombophlebitis has been commonly reported. Stasis dermatitis results from prolonged venous insufficiency including thrombophlebitis, which implies the possibilities of association between stasis dermatitis and Behcet`s disease. We present a 51-year-old man with Behcet`s disease accompained with asymptomatic brownish ill-defined patch on the left leg. This case suggests that stasis dermatitis might be associated with Behcet`s disease by complication of vascular system.(Korean J Dermatol 2003;41(10) : 1374~1377)
