[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.
