The association between a primitive Sjogren's syndrome and infiltrating ductal carcinoma: a case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands and non-glandular structures with a known risk of developing malignant lympho proliferative syndrome. In addition to this lymphoproliferation, patients with an SS can also develop other types and other cancer sites. We report a case of association between SS and infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC). The particularities of this association will be discussed through a literature review. Keywords: Sjogren’s syndrome- infiltrating ductal carcinoma - breast.
