Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is an established imaging modality in diagnosis and treatment response monitoring of sarcoidosis. Multisystemic involvement of sarcoidosis is characteristically seen on PET/CT; however, isolated organ involvement is rare. We describe here a case of a 52-year-old male with generalized muscle weakness, an extremely rare clinical manifestation of sarcoidosis.
