Abstract

Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic, multisystem inflammatory disorder of probable autoimmune etiology and progressive nature, characterized by hypofunction of the exocrine glands, mainly affecting the epithelium of the salivary and lacrimal glands and causing clinical pictures of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (xerophthalmia) and xerostomia. This case report will describe the diagnostic methods and therapeutic approach used in a patient with a condition compatible with Secondary Sjögren’s Syndrome (SSS). The patient underwent diagnostic tests, schimmer tests, parotid gland ultrasonography, and minor salivary gland biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and interviews.
