Abstract

⁶⁷Ga citrate is frequently used in the workup of fever of unknown origin. Here, we report a case of avid ⁶⁷Ga-citrate in bilateral gluteal regions of a patient with a history of free silicon injection buttock augmentation referred for suspected diagnosis of sarcoidosis. CT findings were equivocal for inflammation/infection in the buttock region, and nuclear scintigraphy allowed for more definitive diagnosis.
