Fig. 1From: Relevance of concurrent hypercalcemia in ureteric sarcoidosis complicated with bladder urothelial carcinoma: a case reportCT, MRI, and FDG-PET findings for the left lower ureteral lesion and whole-body FDG accumulation. a. Abdominal plain CT shows left hydronephrosis associated with left lower ureteral wall thickening (white arrow). b Diffusion-weighted MRI shows high signal intensity for the ureteral lesion (white arrow). c FDG-PET reveals FDG accumulation in the left lower ureter (white arrow), skin, and muscles (white arrowhead). d. The black striae formed by FDG accumulation represent sarcoid nodules in the skin and muscles. The black arrows illustrate representative sites of the sarcoid nodules.
