Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease histologically characterized by non-caseating granulomas. Although it usually affects the lungs, it can affect any organ system and present with a wide variety of symptoms. Heerfordt-Waldenström Syndrome, or uveoparotid fever, is a rare form of sarcoidosis that presents with a combination of fever, parotitis, facial paralysis, and uveitis. In this case report, we demonstrate a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis in a patient who presents with both the aforementioned syndrome and cardiac involvement. This case serves to highlight the importance of identifying the various clinical manifestations and management of systemic sarcoidosis.
