Abstract
1. The incidence of head and neck sarcoidosis is rare, although this etiology should be taken into account in ENT diagnostics. 2. The lesions can occur in many organs, most common manifestation is: lungs, peripherial lymph nodes, skin, eyes, articulations, liver and spleen. 3. Course of sarcoidosis is not characteristic, chest x-ray, biopsy and the analysis of clinical signs are required to settle the diagnosis. 4. In cases of isolated salivary gland sarcoidosis the preoperative diagnosis is difficult, fine-needle biopsy and Doppler ultrasonography can be helpful. 5. The possibility of exacerbations and recidivations makes the long follow-up necessary.
