Abstract

The nasal location of sarcoidosis is rare. In this regard, we report three observations of sarcoidosis observed in three women with an average age of 53.6 years, revealed by annoying nasal manifestations. The presence of extra-nasal sites allowed us tosuspect the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in all the patients.

Keywords:

Sarcoidosis, nose, granuloma, corticosteroids.
