چکیده

Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disorder of unknown etiology which is characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas in involved tissues.

In our report, we would like to draw attention to the importance of considering heart involvement in any case with systemic sarcoidosis especially in young age.
