Abstract

Follicular Lymphoma Development in Primary Sjogrens Syndrome: A Case Report

Xeiad Cerrag

This paper reports a malignant transformation of Sjogren’s syndrome to extraglandular follicular lymphoma in a 33-year-old female. The developing lymphoma has manifested itself in the cervical lymph nodes after seven years of diagnosing Sjogren’s syndrome. To date, several hundred cases have suffered a malignant transformation of which few cases have developed follicular lymphoma. Given the overall transformation potential, the necessity of the close followup in patients with Sjogren’s syndrome cannot be overemphasized.
