Behçet's disease is rare, especially in the paediatric population. In this case, a healthy 16-year-old made presented with discrete scrotal ulcers and systemic illness. He was found to have Fournier's gangrene and with subsequent investigation was diagnosed with Behçet's disease as an underlying cause. A PubMed search reveals no similar case reports. His only risk factors for Fournier's gangrene was his raised body mass index. His only risk factor for Behçet's disease was his ethnic origin. An understanding of risk factors and epidemiology can raise suspicion of these rare pathologies.
白塞病较为罕见,在儿科人群中尤为如此。在本病例中,一名16岁的健康男性出现了散在的阴囊溃疡和全身症状。他被诊断为福尼尔坏疽,后续检查诊断其潜在病因是白塞病。PubMed检索未发现类似病例报告。他患福尼尔坏疽的唯一风险因素是体重指数升高。他患白塞病的唯一风险因素是其种族出身。了解风险因素和流行病学有助于提高对这些罕见病症的怀疑。
