Abstract
We report a case of a postpartum female on oral contraceptives who pre sented with chest pain and was initially treated for pulmonary embolis m on the basis of a lobar mismatch on ventilation-perfusion imaging. S ubsequent angiography revealed that the pulmonary artery was extrinsic ally compressed. Gallium-67-citrate imaging documented sarcoidosis wit h uptake in bilateral hilar nodes, both lungs and parotid and salivary glands.
