[The overlap of primary Sjögren's syndrome with antiphospholipid syndrome in man: case report].
We describe the case a 63-year-old man with overlap of primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). According to literature the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies is observed in about 20% of patients with pSS. The coexistence of pSS and APS should be considered as an infrequent, but not exceptional, event.
