  • Title: Association of Sjögren's syndrome and sarcoidosis. Report of a case.
    Author: Deheinzelin D, de Carvalho CR, Tomazini ME, Barbas Filho JV, Saldiva PH.
    Journal: Sarcoidosis; 1988 Mar; 5(1):68-70. PubMed ID: 3381023.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 57 year-old woman with Sjögren's syndrome and pulmonary complaints. After an initial evaluation, a lung biopsy was made and disclosed sarcoid lesions. This association is very rare, and the present case does not fulfill the criteria for TASS (Thyroiditis, Addison's disease, Sjögren, and Sarcoidosis). Sarcoidosis and Sjögren can coexist since both diseases may share the same immunological profile. This case report warrants further research on the overlapping of these diseases.
