Abstract:
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) of the liver is a rare entity associated with autoimmune diseases, hematologic disorders and therapy with immunosuppressive agents. We describe a patient with primary Sjögren's syndrome and NRH of the liver, the first report of this association. The pathogenesis of NRH is not clear, but the presence of some type of circulatory disorder is suspected.
