    Abstract:
    We report 13 cases of nasosinusal sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is a chronic, non caseating granulomatous disease. Nasosinusal involment is rare or exceptional and may be isolated (1 case in our series) or associated (12 cases in our series) with other lesions of the chest, skin, liver, spleen, bone, eyes, salivary glands, peripheral lymph nodes or with neurosarcoidosis. The clinical and CT features are various and often non specific. Nasal biopsy guided by physical examination is easy and constitute the main diagnostic criterion. The course of nasosinusal sarcoidosis is variable and no standard treatment has been established. Response to local or systemic corticosteroid therapy is also variable. The recurrence is frequent after tapering off or interrupting corticosteroids that also have important side effects.
