Sarcoidosis with nasal obstruction and deformity. A case report.
Sarcoidosis is a relatively uncommon disease, seldom seen by ear, nose and throat departments. There are interesting head and neck and, more specifically, nasal manifestations. A patient with sarcoidosis presented at our department with nasal obstruction and deformity. Although these were the predominant features of the disease, the diagnosis was made together with other systemic signs. A case of sarcoidosis involving the nose is presented, with discussion emphasising the features more commonly seen by the ear, nose and throat surgeon.
