An aseptic abscess (AA) is an auto-inflammatory disorder characterized by necrotic lymph nodes and internal organ abscesses, most frequently located in the spleen. Described herein are two cases of aseptic abscesses; one in a patient with Behcet's disease and the other in a patient with mesenteric panniculitis.
