Multiple nodular lesions of the chin and oral mucosa in a patient with Sjögren's syndrome.
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterised by generalised lymphoproliferation. Patients have an increased risk of developing lymphomas which are usually derived from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). We report a low grade, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the skin and oral mucosa in a patient with Sjögren's syndrome.
