Abstract
A case of sarcoidosis was reported in which gallium-67 scintigraphy showed increased uptake in generalized sarcoid lesions. Gallium-67 uptake in skin lesions was also seen, which is rare in literature. A 22-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital. The patient had a history of general fatigue, polydipsia and polyuria. On physical examination, swelling of the bilateral parotid glands and lacrimal glands was noted. There were many subcutaneous nodules, especially in both arms. Superficial lymphademopathy was also noted in cervical and inguinal regions. He complained of bilateral amblyopia, and gonioscopy revelaed some nodules of the uvea. Coexistent diabetes insipidus was diagnosed with dehydration test. Chest roentgenogram showed bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. Gallium-67 scintigram showed increased uptake in bilateral parotid glands and lacrimal glands. There were multiple abnormal uptakes in the neck, mediastinum and the inguinal region. Abnormal uptake was also noted in the subcutaneous nodules. Biopsy was performed from the lesions in the parotid glands, cervical lymph nodes, subcutaneous nodules and triceps muscles. Diagnosis of sarcoidosis was confirmed histopathologically. (J.P.N.).
