An 82 year-old patient with sarcoidosis.
An 82 year-old woman presented with bilateral uveitis suggestive of ocular sarcoidosis, which led to a clouded vision. She was diagnosed as having sarcoidosis because of an elevated level of serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), findings from a Ga67 scintiscan and the bilateral uveitis, although her chest X-ray film was normal. This patient is one of the most oldest patients on record to have sarcoidosis.
