Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of sarcoidosis of head and neck symptoms, and to summarize the diagnosis and treatment experience. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients with nodular disease with main symptoms in the head and neck who visited Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to August 2023. The clinical data including symptom characteristics, pathological characteristics, treatment methods, and prognosis were analyzed. Results: A total of 14 patients were included, with 4 males(28.6%) and 10 females(71.4%), age ranged from 11 to 71 years, with an average age of(52.0±15.8) years. The lesions were located in the parotid gland in 2 cases and the neck in 12 cases. Twelve cases underwent neck mass resection surgery, and 2 cases underwent ultrasound-guided core biopsy of parotid gland tumor and postoperative pathological diagnosis was confirmed in all cases. Four cases received steroid treatment postoperatively, and showed good prognosis with reduced lesion size after 3 months. Three cases did not take medication and the lesions continued to persist, causing discomfort. Seven cases did not take medication postoperatively, and the lesions expanded with multi-organ progression. Conclusion: Patients with head and neck sarcoidosis are rare in clinical practice, and it is prone to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Steroid therapy can achieve good therapeutic effects.
