Ocular Sarcoidosis as Initial Presentation of the Disease: Clinical Characteristics and Risk Factors Associated with Disease Recurrence

Chest CT scan or <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT is mandatory for systemic workup and biopsy is necessary for definite diagnosis. Female sex and a panuveitis presentation are significantly associated with disease recurrence.
