Uveoparotitis is a symptom of sarcoidosis. It describes a chronic inflammation of the parotid gland (parotitis) and part of the eye called the uvea (uveitis). There is also a phenomenon called Waldenström's uveoparotitis, where the symptom is related to Heerfordt's syndrome.[1] The condition was first described in 1909.[2]
