[Associated rhinosinus and pleural sarcoidosis].
Sarcoidosis manifestations in the upper airways and pleura are exceptional, observed in 5% and 1% of cases. We report an exceptional observation of an association of these two localizations in addition to mediastinopulmonary involvement. After confirmation of the diagnosis obtained on bronchial biopsies and nasal mucosa biopsies, pleural sarcoidosis was retained because of the clinical context and the spontaneous resolution of the effusion. The major problem is the absence of a therapeutic consensus on proper management, oral corticosteroid therapy being proposed by some for these particular forms of sarcoidosis.
