  • Title: A patient with primary Sjogren's syndrome, cystic lung disease, and MALT lymphoma treated successfully with rituximab: a case-based review.
    Author: Wise LM, Arkfeld DG.
    Journal: Clin Rheumatol; 2020 Apr; 39(4):1357-1362. PubMed ID: 31863212.
    Abstract:
    Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) can have a myriad of presentations, ranging from mild xerostomia to more diffuse systemic involvement. It is well established that pSS is associated with a variety of pulmonary pathologies, and it is also known that pSS patients are at higher risk for lymphoma development. Here, we present an unusual case of a woman with primary Sjogren's syndrome who had both diffuse cystic lung disease as well as extranodal MALT lymphoma, successfully treated for both conditions with the CD-20 monoclonal antibody rituximab.
