Abstract:
Gallium-67-citrate is useful for characterizing activity in patients with sarcoidosis. Gallium-67 uptake in bilateral symmetrical hilar lymphadenopathy and/or symmetrical salivary glands is typical of this clinical entity. Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease, and uveitis is considered the hallmark of ophthalmic sarcoidosis. We present two cases of ophthalmic sarcoidosis that shows uveal accumulation of 67Ga-citrate associated with clinical symptoms.
