Sarcoidosis is a rare condition, presenting with granulomatous lesions typically located in the lungs, spleen and lymph nodes. We present an atypical case of sarcoidosis, with an initial lesion located in the nasopharynx. The patient is a 38-year-old male, with the complaints of cephalalgia, nasal obstruction and hyposmia, detected during further examination with degenerative spinal modifications, prostate inflammation and lung-based sarcoidosis. A biopsy of the lesion located in the postnasal cavity revealed granulomatous origin. The patient underwent total endoscopic adenoid removal and radiofrequency-assisted bilateral turbinate reduction, with favourable post operatory evolution. Atypical localizations of sarcoidosis lesions must be considered in the case of unusual lesions, regardless of localisation.
