ABSTRACT
Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocyte-mediated destruction of exocrine glands, which produces classical symptoms of dry eyes and dry mouth. Aside from the clinical manifestations associated with exocrine glands, extraglandular features of SS include a major long-term concern for development of lymphoma. The lifetime risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in an SS patient is approximately 5% to 10%, 20 times higher than that of the normal population. This case report describes a rare occurrence of NHL in the eyelid and lung of an adolescent female with SS, whose disease activity had been monitored closely. This is the first reported case in Korea.
