摘要
Background: Infliximab, a TNF-alpha blocking agent, is an upcoming therapeutic option for cases of refractory sarcoidosis. In pulmonary sarcoidosis, changes imaged by F-18-FDG-PET during infliximab treatment in sarcoidosis patients correlate with signs of clinical improvement. Design: Case-report. Results and conclusions: A patient with severe earlobe sarcoidosis, treated with infliximab, is presented. This case shows that even relatively small extrapulmonary localisations of sarcoidosis can be visualised by F-18-FDG-PET, and that a decrease of FDG-uptake correlates well with clinical improvement on infliximab treatment.
