We report on the case of a teenager in whom the onset of CD was dominated by respiratory symptoms.

We report a patient who presented with leg weakness and cervical lymphadenopathy. Thoracical magnetic resonance imaging showed an inhomogenously increased signal in the thickened portion of the cord. Multilevel laminectomy and spinal cord biopsy revealed granulomatous infiltrations with necrosis. Review of the histopathological finding established the diagnosis of necrotising sarcoid granulomatosis (NSG) of the spinal [...]

To the best of our knowledge, this is only the second reported case in the English-language literature of primary parotid sarcoidosis that is the sole manifestation of the disease. We [...]
