摘要：

Sarcoiclosis and sarcoid-like reactions have been reported to be associated with malignancies, particularly testicular cancer and lymphoma. They occur either synchronously or metachronously, and may also occur after chemotherapy. We know of only two other case reports of granulomatous reactions in head and neck cancer. The present case highlights the association of sarcoidosis with head and neck cancer, and the importance of considering the diagnosis in patients who may have metastatic disease.
