Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by non-caseating granulomatous inflammation. It most commonly affects the pulmonary and intrathoracic lymph nodes. Isolated nasopharyngeal involvement is very rare. Pediatric sarcoidosis and isolated nasopharyngeal involvement are rare entities. Symptoms of nasopharyngeal involvement can mimic adenoid hypertrophy. In this case report, we present a nine-year-old female who was diagnosed coincidentally with sarcoidosis with the adenoidectomy specimen.

In this case report, we present a pediatric patient who was diagnosed coincidentally with sarcoidosis after adenoidectomy.…”

“…Although rare, it is important to raise awareness regarding these rare cases in order to provide medical professionals with background knowledge of the subject, so as to arrive to a diagnosis promptly. Literature [13][14][15][16] and our experience have pointed out that a histopathological examination of the biopsy tissue is the most relevant examination in the case of bizarre lesions, as both clinical presentation and the features of a certain disease are prone to progression and shift.…”

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.
