Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by noncaseating granulomas.
  • Nasal manifestations of sarcoidosis are uncommon, often presenting as lupus pernio or rhinophyma-like lesions.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old man presented with symmetric, bulbous, nodular enlargement of the nasal tip and alae nasi.
  • Initial clinical presentation suggested rhinophyma.

Findings:

  • Biopsy revealed noncaseating granulomas, confirming sarcoidosis.
  • Laboratory, radiographic, and pulmonary function tests indicated systemic sarcoidosis involvement.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of biopsy in diagnosing nasal sarcoidosis, especially when it mimics other dermatological conditions.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of systemic sarcoidosis are crucial to prevent organ damage.
