Flashy lungs and sarcoidosis: not always a sign of disease activity

Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis. 2024 Mar 26;41(1):e2024010. doi: 10.36141/svdld.v41i1.14626.ABSTRACTThis is the case of a 68-year-old man with known cardiac sarcoidosis undergoing treatment with methotrexate who presented with new onset of dyspnea and lipothymia. FDG-PET/CT revealed pathological uptake within lung parenchyma which resolved following discontinuation of methotrexate, compatible with methotrexate-induced pneumonitis. This is the first case of methotrexate-induced pneumonitis documented by FDG-PET/CT.PMID:38567563 | PMC:PMC11008334 | DOI:10.36141/svdld.v41i1.14626
