RESUMO
El objetivo de este trabajo es concienciar sobre el desarrollo de sarcoidosis tras el tratamiento antineoplásico para evitar errores de diagnóstico con los estudios de FDG-PET/CT. Se presentan los casos de 3 mujeres tratados de cáncer de mama, cuello uterino y estómago, que desarrollaron sarcoidosis al finalizar el tratamiento antineoplásico. La utilidad del FDG-PET/CT está en la localización de órganos candidatos a biopsia diagnóstica, pero no sirve para distinguir un tumor maligno y lesiones inflamatorias o granulomatosas
The aim of our work is to promote the awareness about the development of sarcoidosis after antineoplastic therapy in order to avoid diagnostic errors with FDG-PET/CT findings. We report the observation of three women with breast, cervix and stomach treated cancers who developed a sarcoidosis after the end of anti-neoplastic therapy. The utility of FDG-PET/CT is in pinpointing the organs candidates for diagnostic biopsy and not distinguishing between the malignancy and granulomatous or inflammatory diseases
