ABSTRACT
We report a 33-year-old Arab male patient who was thought to have severe idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) associated with complete atrioventricular block for more than 6 years, then was found to possess features suggestive of underlying Behcet's disease in the form of recurrent oral and genital ulcers, cutaneous folliculitis, superficial thrombophlebitis, pathergism, partially thrombosed portal vein and a positive human leukocyte antigen -B51.
