Data are available on 14 patients with sarcoidosis of the face and upper respiratory tracts (11 females and 4 males, age from 29 to 71 years). 4 patients had isolated ENT lesion. In 3 cases, sarcoidosis was found at histological examination of the material removed in the course of surgery for chronic tonsillitis, recurrent purulent cyst, pyopolypous maxilloethmoiditis. Pain at the site of skin and mucosa affection was minor, ulceration was absent. Standard treatment was effective. 12 patients were followed up for 3 to 15 years.

[On aspects of laryngeal tuberculosis].

In 1989-1998 the authors treated 50 patients (45 males and 5 females aged 21-68 years, mean age 46.2 years) with tuberculosis of the lungs and larynx. Pulmonary lesions were for the most part disseminated (58%) or infiltrative (24%). One patient had laryngeal tuberculosis combination with cancer of the laryngeal pharynx. Progression of the disease occurs frequently because of otorhinolaryngologists who make diagnostic errors when consulting patients who seek primarily their advice (60% of those with laryngeal tuberculosis) complaining about throat pain and hoarseness. In obscure cases, an attempt of antituberculosis treatment should be made.
