Unlabelled:
A 71 year-old man with primary Sjögren's syndrome developed pulmonary opacities within two years of the diagnosis. Videothoracoscopic lung biopsy demonstrated high grade, B-cell, CD20+, large-cell lymphoma, associated with Epstein-Barr virus (RNA EBERs of the virus were expressed by the lymphoma cells). The condition initially improved with rituximab-CHOP treatment, but recurrence of the lymphoma was fatal.
Conclusion:
High-grade B-cell lymphoma associated with EBV can occur in Sjögren's syndrome in the absence of long-term immunosuppressive therapy.
