Pinguecula and Sjögren's syndrome: two cases.
A pinguecula is a small, raised conjunctival nodule at the temporal or nasal limbus classically associated with conjunctival microtrauma from exposure to sunlight and/or to dust. We report two cases occurring during the course of Sjögren's syndrome. To our knowledge this association has never been described.
