N2 - Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown cause that primarily involves thelungs. Extrapulmonary sarcoidosis is seen in more than 30% of patients. We report a case of a29-year old man presenting with bilateral enlargement of the parotid glands combined with fever,discrete dyspnea, and fatigue. Histopathology from the parotid gland indicated sarcoidosis. An18F-FDG PET/CT performed to visualize the organ extent demonstrated increased 18F-FDG uptakein the parotid glands and in bilateral mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. The patient was diagnosedwith sarcoidosis.
