Sarcoidosis-Like Granulomatous Lymphadenopathy Mistaken for Neoplastic Disease on Positron Emission Tomography.

This is a rare case of sarcoidosis-like granulomatous lymphadenopathy that was initially mistaken for a neoplastic process due to the degree of hypermetabolic changes observed on positron emission tomography (PET) scan.
