Pulmonary embolism due to an intracardiac thrombosis in a patient affected by Behçet’s disease: a case report
Behçet's disease is a systemic inflammatory disorder that often affects vessels and rarely the heart. Thrombosis can be the only clinical feature of primary or relapsing events with also atypical origin site. Thrombosis suggests a high inflammatory status that needs to be balanced with the right immunosuppressive therapy, associated to anticoagulation.
