FDG PET/CT Evidence of Effective Treatment of Cardiac Sarcoidosis With Adalimumab.

Christina T Miller1, Nadera J Sweiss, Yang Lu.   

Abstract

A 53-year-old man with mediastinal lymph node biopsy and cardiac MRI-proven cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) received treatment with pacemaker and steroids. FDG PET/CT showed active CS despite treatment with prednisone and methotrexate. Addition of weekly adalimumab (Humira) injections was introduced for 3 months. Follow-up FDG PET/CT showed complete resolution of CS as well as improvement of other sarcoid lesions in the thoracic lymph nodes.
