A Rare Incidental Diagnosis After Adenoidectomy: Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by non-caseating granulomatous inflammation. It most commonly affects the pulmonary and intrathoracic lymph nodes. Isolated nasopharyngeal involvement is very rare. Pediatric sarcoidosis and isolated nasopharyngeal involvement are rare entities. Symptoms of nasopharyngeal involvement can mimic adenoid hypertrophy. In this case report, we present a nine-year-old female who was diagnosed coincidentally with sarcoidosis with the adenoidectomy specimen.
