A 24-year-old man visited our emergency room with testicular pain and left shoulder pain, and was admitted to our hospital for diagnosis of bilateral epididymitis. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication were started, but the symptoms did not improve. During hospitalization, ulcerous lesions, erythema nodosum, folliculitis-like exanthema and multiple oral aphtha appeared. Then, we consulted the department of dermatology. As he had a combination of arthritis and epididymitis, he was diagnosed with the abortive form of Behcet's disease. After diagnosis, we began administering colchicine. Then, all symptoms improved in a few days, and he has remained free of the disease after the discontinuation of colchicine.
