Summary

Tattoo-associated sarcoidosis involves granulomas in tattoos. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT imaging can detect tattoo inflammation and assess for systemic sarcoidosis.

Background:

Tattoo-associated sarcoidosis presents as granulomas within tattoos, potentially affecting other organs.
Systemic sarcoidosis can manifest with papulonodular reactions in tattoos.

Approach:

This review explores the utility of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT.
18F-FDG PET/CT differentiates metabolically active areas from normal tissue.

Key Points:

18F-FDG PET/CT can visualize inflammatory activity within tattoos.
This imaging modality aids in investigating systemic sarcoidosis in cases of papulonodular tattoo reactions.

Conclusions:

18F-FDG PET/CT is a valuable tool for evaluating tattoo inflammation.
