A Case of Sarcoidosis: Multiple Osseous Nodule and Thyroid Involvement

Sarcoidosis is a multifocal, immune mediated, chronic inflammatory systemic disease of unknown etiology [1,2]. The overall prevalence of sarcoidosis is 10-40 cases per 100,000 populations. Females affected more often than males. Age of onset is usually during early adulthood [3]. Accurate diagnosis often requires pathologic examination. However, in recent years FDG positron emission tomography (PET) has proved to play an important role [4]. We report a female case of sarcoidosis patient with previous biopsy proven thyroid involvement, who presented with recent Horner’s Syndrome and multiple osseous nodules detected on PET scan.
