RESUMO
La sarcoidosis en una enfermedad crónica multisistémica de causa desconocida que afecta principalmente al pulmón. La afectación de la vía respiratoria superior es rara, e infrecuente como primera manifestación. Presentamos un caso de sarcoidosis laríngea en una mujer de 20 años. El diagnóstico se basa la clínica, la radiología, pruebas de laboratorio e histología. El tratamiento, como en la sarcoidosis pulmonar, consiste en corticoterapia sistémica (AU)
