Following left neck dissection, nivolumab was initiated. Follow-up FDG PET/CT 3 months after initiation of nivolumab demonstrated extensive radiotracer-avid chest lymphadenopathy and multiple bone lesions. Ultrasound-guided endobronchial biopsy of the mediastinal lymph nodes demonstrated sarcoidosis.
