Abstract:
Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune exocrinopathy characterised by decreased lacrymal and salivary gland function, resulting in keratoconjunctivitis sicca and dry mouth. The occurrence of malignant lymphoma is the most serious complication of Sjogren's syndrome. Recent reports have found that MALT lymphoma accounts for 46~56% of the malignant lymphoma that develop in patients with Sjogren's syndrome. The most common site of MALT lymphoma in patients of Sjogren's syndrome is parotid gland, but we experienced two cases of MALT lymphoma of lung in patients with Sjogren's syndrome. We report these cases with review of literature.
