Uveoparotid fever as a presentation of sarcoidosis

Abstract

Uveoparotid fever, also known as Heerfordt-Waldenström syndrome, is an uncommon acute presentation of systemic sarcoidosis. Patients may have features of complete/classic or incomplete disease. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care should be initiated to prevent sequelae. Herein, the authors report a rare case of retrospectively diagnosed incomplete uveoparotid fever in a patient with anterior uveitis, parotid gland enlargement, and fever who presented to our dermatology clinic with cutaneous sarcoidosis.
