[Sarcoidosis of the upper respiratory tract. Review of the literature apropos of 2 cases].

We describe two cases with sarcoidosis affecting upper respiratory tract. This uncommon localization, may occur in patients with previously diagnosed sarcoidosis, but it may be the first or the only manifestation of the disease. A severe upper airway obstruction can occur, necessitating urgent tracheostomy. Systemic corticosteroid therapy is the treatment of choice in most cases.

Diagnosis, Differential

[Malignant granuloma of the face and angiocentric T-cell lymphoma. A review of the literature apropos of a case].

The authors report the observation of a lethal midline granuloma in a 43 years old man, at first seen with repeated left sinusitis disease, the histo-pathological study of a biopsy of the external middle third of the left side of the nose made the diagnosis of midline lethal granuloma, classically called Stewart granuloma by french authors. General Medical Investigations to find some peripheral extension, done in specialized services were negative, Epstein Barr DNA was not found by the immuno-histochemical investigations and so don't prove the filiation of this case with angiocentric T cell immunoproliferative lesion. By the light of this observation and of a literature review, the authors debate about the difficulty of diagnosis and about the relations with the other granulomatosis lesions of the face, non Hodgkins' lymphoma and angiocentric T cell immuno-proliferative lesions.

Adult

[Necrotizing angiitis after serous otitis. 2 cases].

Two cases of systemic necrotizing angeitis are reported because of their very unusual presenting symptom: serous otitis media responsible for bilateral deafness. After this "invasion phase", typical polyarteritis nodosa developed. Cardiac involvement, with auriculoventricular block, and cranial neuritis were observed in both cases. The few previously published identical cases are reviewed. Specific neurological and cardiac forms of P.A.N. are discussed. It is hypothesized that the cause of this immune complex-mediated disease is infectious.
