Sinonasal sarcoidosis in the head and neck region is infrequent. Its occurrence can be either isolated in combination with other systems. The literature reveals that the occurrence of sinonasal sarcoidosis without lung involvement is rare. In general, sarcoidosis is a chronic non-caseating granulomatous disease of unknown origin, often identified after biopsy. In this article, we report on a benign tumor of the face that produced a diagnostic dilemma, necessitating refinement of the surgical access and in toto removal of the benign tumor.

Fibroinflammatory lesions of the sinonasal tract include inflammatory polyps (chronic rhinosinusitis), various infectious, sarcoidosis, and NK/T-cell lymphoma as examples of the most commonly encountered lesions. However, the differential diagnosis includes several less frequently encountered entities, such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss), eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis considered part of IgG-related disease, and Rosai-Dorfman disease. This review focuses on these latter entities providing an update on clinical, laboratory, imaging, histology, and ancillary testing employed to reach an actionable diagnosis.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that can affect multiple organ systems. Although many sarcoidosis patients are asymptomatic, the variable clinical progression of symptomatic patients and the nonspecific presentation make diagnosis difficult in certain cases. Musculoskeletal and sinonasal involvement of sarcoidosis are uncommon manifestations, and they are often only seen in patients with widespread disease.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis is a very common condition. IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and sarcoidosis are systemic diseases which can contribute to the development of chronic rhinosinusitis in select patients.
Objective: Characterize the presenting features, diagnostic criteria, workup, and management of sinonasal IgG4-RD and sarcoidosis as they are encountered in otolaryngology clinics.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of the lungs that commonly involves intrathoracic lymph nodes. Here, we report the case of a 68-year-old woman who complained of shortness of breath and had suffered from the enlargement of intrathoracic lymph nodes for 12 years, swelling of the right middle finger for 7 years, and nasal obstruction for 2 years. The damage to the phalange was aggravated continuously and a malignant lesion could not be excluded, thus leading to amputation of the right middle finger.
