| Popis: | The authors report a case of a 47-year-old female with a history of sarcoidosis and early stage breast cancer diagnosed and treated for potential cure 10 years earlier with right mastectomy, who presented with a progressive left visual field defect developing over 2 weeks. Physical examination demonstrated a lobulated choroidal mass with a serous retinal detachment (figure 1). MRI confirmed a left orbital retinal detachment. F-18 flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography CT (PET-CT) imaging demonstrated hypermetabolism diffusely throughout osseous structures, numerous lymph node stations and the left posterior choroid (figures 2 and 3). No calcified lymph nodes were seen on CT. Retrospective review of the MRI showed very mild enhancement correlating to … |
