title: Technetium-99m-MDP uptake in hilar lymph nodes in sarcoidosis.
abstract: We describe a patient with unexplained hypercalcemia who under went bone scintigraphy, which demonstrated marked tracer uptake within the hilar lymph nodes. The pattern strongly suggested sarcoidosis, which was subsequently confirmed by bronchoscopy-directed biopsy.
