Abstract
Behcet’s disease is a rare form of auto immune multisystemic disease also called as auto immune vasculitis. The three cardinal features of Behcet’s disease are oral ulcers, genital ulcers and uveitis. Diagnosis is based on clinical, radiological and laboratory investigations. In the absence of constitutional symptoms, diagnosis of Behcet's disease could be challenging. Cardiac involvement of Behcet's disease is extremely rare and can present as intracardiac mass or thrombus with greater predisposition towards right side chambers. Sometimes, the cardiac manifestations could be the presenting symptoms even before the symptoms of Behcet's disease start to appear.
