title: Sarcoidosis of the external ear--literature review and report of a case.
abstract: External ear manifestations of sarcoidosis are rare. We review six cases in the literature and also report a case. The otolaryngologist plays an important role in making the diagnosis because of the ease of biopsy in all cases of sarcoidosis of the external ear.
