Sarcoidosis is a disease process which predominantly affects the lungs but can involve virtually any organ in the human body.

There is no single diagnostic test for sarcoidosis; hence, the diagnosis is based on combined clinical, laboratorial, and radiological grounds. We describe a rare case where a patient presented with dysphagia, hoarseness, hearing loss, and unsteadiness.
