ABSTRACT
Objectives
In Sarcoidosis joints-muscles-bones (JMBs) localizations are of the least common. 18F-FDG-PET/CT imaging revolutionized detection of JMBs involvement by adding metabolic activity information and allowing for a comprehensive, whole-body mapping of the disease.
Aim and methods
This study investigated prevalence, distribution, and clinical significance of JMBs sarcoidosis in 195 consecutive patients that underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT examination.
Results
Joint and bone involvement were encountered in 15% of patients with a mean of the maximum-standardized-uptake-value (SUVmax) of 6.1. Most common location was the axial skeleton. Hypercalciuria was significantly more frequent in patients with osseous involvement (p = 0.003). Muscle activity (SUVmax = 2.4) was encountered in 20% of the patients, most frequently in treatment-naïve (p = 0.02). The muscles of the lower extremities were affected the most. Muscle and bone localization coexist in 50% of the cases. JMBs disease was almost asymptomatic, not related to chronicity but to pulmonary, nodal, and systemic disease. Long-term follow-up and treatment response of affected patients confirmed sarcoidosis.
Conclusion
18F-FDG-PET/CT revealed JMBs localizations and coexistence with other organ sites supporting the concept that sarcoidosis is a systemic disease. By allowing an integrative interpretation of multi-organ involvement in the context of a pattern highly suggestive of sarcoidosis, it strongly keeps-off the diagnosis of malignancy.

结节病中关节,肌肉和骨骼的患病率,分布及其临床意义:一项18F-FDG-PET / CT研究。
摘要
目标
在结节病中,关节,肌肉,骨骼(JMBs)的定位最不常见。18 F-FDG-PET / CT成像通过添加代谢活性信息并允许对该疾病进行全面的全身成像,彻底改变了JMB的检测。
目的与方法
这项研究调查了连续18例接受F-FDG PET / CT检查的195例患者中JMB结节病的患病率,分布及其临床意义。
结果
15%的患者遇到关节和骨骼受累,最大标准化摄取值(SUV max)平均值为6.1。最常见的位置是轴向骨架。骨累及患者高钙尿症的发生率明显更高(p = 0.003)。在20%的患者中出现肌肉活动(SUVmax = 2.4),在未接受治疗的患者中最为频繁(p = 0.02)。下肢的肌肉受影响最大。肌肉和骨骼定位共存50%。JMBs疾病几乎无症状,与慢性无关,但与肺部,淋巴结和全身性疾病有关。受影响患者的长期随访和治疗反应证实了结节病。
结论
18 F-FDG-PET / CT显示JMBs的定位和与其他器官部位的共存支持了结节病是一种全身性疾病的概念。通过在高度提示结节病的模式中对多器官参与进行综合性解释,可以大大避免恶性肿瘤的诊断。
