  • Title: Sarcoidosis of the nose. Including a report on a patient with large sarcoid polypi of the nasal mucosa.
    Author: Selroos O, Niemistö M.
    Journal: Scand J Respir Dis; 1977; 58(1):57-62. PubMed ID: 841295.
    Abstract:
    A report is presented on 11 patients with histologically confirmed nasal sarcoidosis, including one case with very large nasal polypi. The most frequent symptom was obstruction of the nose followed by dryness and crusting. Thickening of the nasal mucosa was the most frequent finding. Yellowish dots were observed in four patients, and polypi in two. In one patient, a granulomatous maxillary sinusitis was diagnosed. Cutaneous sarcoidosis was found in only one patient. Nine of the patients had noted their nasal symptoms during the early phase of the disease. The response to treatment with corticosteroids is discussed. It seems that an enquiry about nasal symptoms and examination of the nasal cavity are valuable even in patients with early sarcoidosis.
