“…Salivary gland involvement has also been reported with sarcoidosis present ing as swelling of the parotid glands, 10,11 submandibular glands 11 and xerostomia. 12 A recent case report describes a case of sarcoidosis presenting with xerostomia, dysgeusia, oral burning, xerophthalmia and bilateral swelling.…”

“…Interestingly, 21% of patients found positive for sarcoidosis have ocular manifestations on the initial presentation 10 . Also, it is estimated that parotid gland involvement with signs ranging from xerostomia to facial nerve palsy may be present in almost 6% of patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis 11 .…”

Sarcoidosis is a rare condition, presenting with granulomatous lesions typically located in the lungs, spleen and lymph nodes. We present an atypical case of sarcoidosis, with an initial lesion located in the nasopharynx. The patient is a 38-year-old male, with the complaints of cephalalgia, nasal obstruction and hyposmia, detected during further examination with degenerative spinal modifications, prostate inflammation and lung-based sarcoidosis. A biopsy of the lesion located in the postnasal cavity revealed granulomatous origin. The patient underwent total endoscopic adenoid removal and radiofrequency-assisted bilateral turbinate reduction, with favourable post operatory evolution. Atypical localizations of sarcoidosis lesions must be considered in the case of unusual lesions, regardless of localisation.

“…There are also reports of sarcoidosis involvement in the salivary glands with presentation of a persistent, non-tender, firm swelling (usually bilateral) and accompanying xerostomia. 1,4 Diagnosis of sarcoidosis is made by a combination of clinical presentation and histopathology although other granulomatous conditions such as tuberculosis and orofacial granulomatosis need to be excluded. Management of this condition can range from no treatment to systemic corticosteroid therapy with possible surgical excision and curettage of localised oral lesions.…”

An oral lesion as the first clinical presentation of sarcoidosis is extremely rare. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman who was referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgery department with a persistent asymptomatic nodular lesion in the hard palate. This was located adjacent to a grossly carious upper first molar and a provisional diagnosis of chronic periapical granuloma was made. An incisional biopsy of the lesion was carried out, which unexpectedly revealed the presence of a non-caseating granulomatous inflammatory reaction. A referral was sent to the respiratory medicine team and a diagnosis was later confirmed of stage II sarcoidosis. This case report highlights the need for clinicians to be aware of all possible causes of oral lesions, including rare manifestations of underlying systemic disease.
