AbstractBehçet's disease (BD) is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown origin. It rarely but occasionally occurs together with myelodysplastic syndrome and primary myelofibrosis. Trisomy 8 is one of the most common cytogenetic abnormalities in myeloid neoplasms; however, the association of BD with polycythemia vera (PV) and trisomy 8 has not been reported. A 70-year-old woman, diagnosed with PV and treated with hydroxyurea, had bloody stool due to multiple ulcers in the ileocecal region. Considering the lack of a response to treatment and other features, we suspected complication with intestinal Behçet's-like disease. Our case suggests relationships among BD, trisomy 8, and PV.
