Abstract:
Data are available on 14 patients with sarcoidosis of the face and upper respiratory tracts (11 females and 4 males, age from 29 to 71 years). 4 patients had isolated ENT lesion. In 3 cases, sarcoidosis was found at histological examination of the material removed in the course of surgery for chronic tonsillitis, recurrent purulent cyst, pyopolypous maxilloethmoiditis. Pain at the site of skin and mucosa affection was minor, ulceration was absent. Standard treatment was effective. 12 patients were followed up for 3 to 15 years. Good results were achieved in 2 patients, the rest were cured with a picture of mucosal atrophy in the lesion zone.
