Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 50-year-old man presented with initial complaints of diffuse skin pain and pruritus. Physical examination revealed scattered skin plaques and subcutaneous nodules with mild tenderness throughout the body. Skin biopsy demonstrated noncaseating epithelioid granulomas. Patient soon developed cough, fever with hot flashes, and shortness of breath on exertion. FDG PET/CT demonstrated diffuse cutaneous involvement throughout the body. Follow-up FDG PET/CT after treatment revealed a decrease in FDG uptake suggesting a good response to therapy.
