    Abstract:
    Behçet's disease is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disease generally presenting as recurrent oral-genital ulcers and uveitis. Vascular involvement is a common presentation. However, cardiac involvement is rare in this disorder. In this case report, we present a large right ventricular thrombus detected both in computed tomography and echocardiography in a 32 year-old male patient with complaints of fever, haemoptysis and weight loss. Intracardiac thrombus showed both clinical and radiological regression with oral anticoagulant and immunosuppressive therapy.
