Dermatological insight as the key to diagnosing intestinal Behçet’s disease misdiagnosed as Crohn’s: a case report

This report presents the case of a 22-year-old male with recurrent genital ulcers, oral aphthae, and gastrointestinal ulcerations initially diagnosed as Crohn's disease by gastroenterologists.
