Abstract
Sinonasal sarcoidosis in the head and neck region is infrequent. Its occurrence can be either isolated in combination with other systems. The literature reveals that the occurrence of sinonasal sarcoidosis without lung involvement is rare. In general, sarcoidosis is a chronic non-caseating granulomatous disease of unknown origin, often identifiedafter biopsy. In this article, we report on a benign tumor of the face that produced a diagnostic dilemma, necessitating refinement of the sugical access and in toto removal of the benign tumor.
