Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune exocrinopathy that destroys salivary and lacrimal gland tissue. We report an unusual case of this disease in a 54-year-old woman who presented with multiple and bilateral parotid cystic masses. The multiple, small, bead-like cysts were clearly evident in the computed tomography sections in this patient, a visible reminder that this may be the initial presentation in a patient with Sjögren's syndrome. As the case illustrates, Sjögren's syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of multiple and bilateral cystic parotid lesions.
干燥综合征是一种慢性自身免疫性外分泌病，会破坏唾液腺和泪腺组织。我们报告了一例54岁女性的这种疾病的罕见病例，该患者出现多发双侧腮腺囊性肿块。在该患者的计算机断层扫描切片中，多个小的、珠状囊肿清晰可见，这明显提示这可能是干燥综合征患者的初始表现。正如该病例所示，干燥综合征应纳入多发双侧腮腺囊性病变的鉴别诊断中。
