Abstract

Laryngeal sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis. It affects mainly the supraglottic larynx. Involvement of the glottic and subglottic levels are exceptional. We present the case of a 56-year-old man with a 2-year history of systemic sarcoidosis, involving the mucosa of paranasal sinuses, a joint, and mediastinal lymph nodes, who developed laryngeal sarcoidosis. We emphasize the CT appearance of laryngeal sarcoidosis.
