Abstract Behçet’s disease (BD) is a rare systemic vasculitis with multi-organ involvement, including infrequent arterial complications. We report a case of a 20-year-old male who presented with a renal spontaneous hematoma, leading to the diagnosis of BD. This rare manifestation underscores the importance of considering BD in young patients with unexplained vascular issues. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for better outcomes.
