The Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects primarily the exocrine glands, but can affect other organs particularly the lungs. Cystic lung disease is very significant but exceptionally recounted in the literature. We report the case of a patient, 54 years old, whose disease was discovered incidentally after a routine chest radiograph. The diagnosis of cystic lung revealing a primary Sjogren's syndrome was held before a group of radio-clinical, immunological and histological arguments. Through our observation, the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome should be included in the list of diagnoses to raise in a multicystic lung.
干燥综合征是一种慢性炎症性自身免疫性疾病,主要影响外分泌腺,但也可影响其他器官,尤其是肺部。肺囊性疾病非常显著,但在文献中却鲜有记载。我们报告一例54岁患者,其疾病在常规胸部X线检查后偶然发现。在一系列放射学、临床、免疫学和组织学依据支持下,确诊为肺囊性病变合并原发性干燥综合征。通过我们的观察,干燥综合征的诊断应列入多囊肺需排查的诊断清单中。
