Sinusitis as the first indication of sarcoidosis An incidental finding in a patient with presumed ‘odontogenic’ sinusitis: case report

Involvement of the paranasal sinuses and nose by sarcoidosis is uncommon, and has been reported in only 1–4% of patients with sarcoidosis. Clinical symptoms are nasal obstruction, epistaxis, nasal pain, discharge, anosmia or hyposmia, epiphora, and dyspnoea. We present a case of sarcoidosis in which sinusitis was the first clinical sign of the disease.
