Clin Nucl Med. 2021 Sep 1;46(9):e448-e450. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003613.

Abstract

A 69-year-old woman presented with symptomatic hypercalcemia and deranged liver function. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed intense confluent avidity throughout the hepatic parenchyma, which was an isolated abnormality. Subsequent MRI demonstrated a diffuse infiltrative hepatic abnormality, with percutaneous liver biopsy findings consistent with hepatic sarcoidosis.
