Sjögren's syndrome following gastrectomy and chemotherapy for gastric malignant lymphoma.
The case of a 72-year-old man who developed Sjögren's syndrome three years following gastrectomy and chemotherapy for gastric malignant lymphoma is reported. The patient eventually died of systemic cryptococcal infection, and autopsy revealed no recurrence of the malignant lymphoma. Review of the literature indicates lymphoproliferative disease preceding the development of Sjögren's syndrome is extremely rare.
