Sarcoid, sinus polyp: Possibly. Can be sarcoid involvement in the sinuses see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/12968521_Diagnostic_criteria_for_sarcoidosis_of_the_sinuses and brain see https://www.hindawi.com/journals/crii/2015/619867/ In the lungs of sarcoid pts where there is capillary endothelial damage there has been found evidence of Von Willebrands factor on immunohistochemistry
