Usefulness of position emission tomography/computed tomography in a case
of sarcoidosis with multiorgan involvement
Abstract
Sarcoidosis, a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, can
affect any site in the body. A bone lesion was unexpectedly detected by
fluorodeoxyglucose position emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG
PET/CT) in a patient with multiorgan sarcoidosis. FDG PET/CT should be
considered for the detection of clinically silent lesions of
sarcoidosis.
