Extract

Sjögren syndrome is characterized by lymphocytic infiltrates in exocrine organs. Patients present with xerophthalmia, xerostomia, and parotid gland enlargement. Sjögren syndrome is associated with an uncommon but distinctive form of panniculitis. We present a case of a woman who developed a lobular granulomatous panniculitis associated with Sjögren syndrome.
