An 82-year-old woman admitted following a 4-week history of feeling unwell, abdominal pain and constipation. Initial investigations revealed severe hypercalcaemia with suppressed parathyroid hormone and elevated 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. ACE was also raised. CT scans of the head, chest, abdomen and pelvis were normal. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography scan showed metabolically active right axillary lymphadenopathy which when biopsied under ultrasound guidance confirmed sarcoidosis. The patient was started on high-dose prednisolone with resolution of symptoms within 2 weeks. Isolated lymph node sarcoidosis is uncommon, and the reported usual sites are lymph nodes in the head and neck. Rarely has it been reported in the axillary lymph nodes.
