Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology. It can
affect any part of the organism, although the lung is the most frequently
affected organ. Upper airway involvement is rare, particularly if isolated.
Sarcoidosis is a diagnosis of exclusion, established by histological evidence of
non-caseating granulomas and the absence of other granulomatous diseases. The
authors report a case of a man with sarcoidosis manifesting as a chronic
inflammatory stenotic condition of the upper respiratory tract and trachea.
