Zusammenfassung

Die Sarkoidose ist eine granulomatöse Systemerkrankung unbekannter Ätiologie. Neben dem charakteristischen pulmonalen Befall werden auch extrathorakale Manifestationen gefunden. Wir berichten über eine 53-jährige Patientin mit einer unklaren beidseitigen Schwellung der Submandibularisloge. Die radiologische und pathohistologische Abklärung sicherte die seltene Diagnose einer Sarkoidose der Submandibularisloge; die Raumforderung in beiden Logen wurde jeweils durch ein großes, die Gl. submandibularis verdrängendes Lymphknotenpaket verursacht. Eine Beteiligung der großen Speicheldrüsen oder des Thorax bestanden nicht.

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous systemic disease of unknown etiology. Besides the landmark pulmonary lesions, extrathoracic manifestations of the disease can also occur. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with an obscure swelling of both submandibular compartments. The radiological and pathohistological evaluations confirmed the uncommon diagnosis of sarcoidosis of the submandibular compartment. The tumor in each compartment consisted of a huge lymph node conglomerate respectively displacing the submandibular gland. The major salivary glands and the thorax were not involved.
