Abstract

We present a case of sarcoidosis with a rare presentation of involvement of peripheral nerves of the lower limbs and subcutaneous nodules detected on 18 F-FDG PET/CT. The patient also had involvement of the spinal nerves and dura, histologically proven to be sarcoidosis. There were other manifestations of systemic sarcoidosis like metabolically active cervical and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. This case highlights the role of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in evaluating the uncommon sites of sarcoid involvement. Although many cases of sarcoid involvement of central nervous system have been reported, peripheral nerves involvement in the extremities was not found on a literature search.
