Abstract
A patient had both the clinical presentations and the ventilation-perf usion scan that simulated pulmonary embolism so closely that anticoagu lant therapy was administered. Computed tomography of the chest and Ga -67 citrate scintigraphy identified hilar adenopathy due to sarcoidosi s as the cause of a ventilation-perfusion mismatch.
