In about one half of the cases it is associated with rheumatoid arthritis and less frequently with systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), and myopathy or polymyositis (1). The histopathology of this disorder consists of infiltration of the secretory parenchyma of the salivary and lacrimal glands by lymphocytes and plasma cells, atrophy of acinar tissue, and proliferation of ductal epithelial cells (2). These changes give...References1. BUNIM JJ: Heberden oration: a broader spectrum of Sjögren's syndrome and its pathogenetic implications. Ann. Rheum. Dis. 20: 1, 1961. CrossrefMedlineGoogle Scholar2.
