Two cases of neuro-Behcet's disease with isolated, solitary fronto-temporal and mesencephalic lesions respectively are reported. The cases were misdiagnosed as cerebral tumor. The postoperative outcome of the first patient was not satisfactory as he developed hemispheric edema. The second patient, with mesencephalic lesion, was treated only with corticosteroids, and the patient improved significantly. The lesion in this case resolved completely at six-month follow-up. We conclude that distinguishing the isolated solitary cerebral lesion of the Behcet's disease from a tumor may prevent surgical intervention.

Article Synopsis
- - Neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD) is a serious complication of Behçet's disease (BD), and a study in Northern Spain aimed to estimate its current incidence from 1999 to 2019 based on 120 patients diagnosed with BD using international criteria.
- - A total of 96 patients were analyzed, with NBD diagnosed in 24% of them; the average age was 44 years, and genetic testing showed HLA-B51 positivity in about 38% of the cases.
- - The incidence rate of NBD during the study was found to be 0.13 per 100,000 people-years, with no significant gender differences and a trend towards earlier diagnosis over time,

Background: Behcet's disease (BD) is a multisystem autoimmune relapsing vasculitis with an almost unknown etiology involving both large and small vessels. The neurological involvement called neuro-Behcet's disease (NBD) is rare. NBD can be responsible for tumor-like masses mimicking low-grade gliomas in only a few cases.
