Prognosis
Sarcoidosis generally shows spontaneous remission in 12-36 months (50-60% of cases). Prognosis is usually favourable, although a 3-9% mortality is reported, usually from lung or cardiac complications (7, 17). It is difficult to recommend ENT-specific treatments given the scarcity of data that exists on the management and prognosis of site-specific manifestations. For example, laryngeal sarcoidosis is a rare head and neck manifestation of what is already a rare condition. Since most patients with sarcoidosis do not have ENT manifestations of their disease, there is little data regarding rates of remission. As such, there are only limited case series with which to base best practice.
