Abstract
Involvement of the larynx is an unusual complication of sarcoidosis. Clinical and laryngographic findings are reviewed and a differential diagnosis is given. Unlike the pulmonary and hilar manifestations of the disease, laryngeal lesions do not respond well to systemic steroids, although local injections may alleviate the need to perform a tracheostomy for airway obstruction.
