Abstract Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that can affect any organ including the nose. Nasal crusting and congestion are common nasal symptoms of sarcoidosis, whereas cases of saddle-nose deformity are rarely reported. We describe here a case of sarcoidosis that presented with saddle nose resembling relapsing polychondritis. Since sarcoidosis shares clinical features with relapsing polychondritis, the differential diagnosis of saddle nose can be challenging without a clear pathology.
