tal ulcers, and uveitis. Behçet's disease has been associated with rare complications and comorbidities, including mastitis, acral tissue necrosis
following minor trauma, severe ulceration of the breast skin envelope, and necrosis of the bilateral nipple-areola complex. Especially; in cases
with a positive pathergy phenomenon, trauma-induced triggering of the inflammatory cascade may result in rare cutaneous complications. This
case report highlights the association between partial necrosis of bilateral mastectomy skin flaps and Behçet's disease in a 48-year-old
