“…Although SS can affect any age, onset typically occurs in the fourth to fifth decade of life. The association between sarcoidosis and SS is well described in the literature, either isolated [10, 11] or associated with the TASS syndrome (thyroiditis, Addison’s disease, SS and sarcoidosis) [12]. Another disease recently associated with NSG is Crohn’s disease [31], also described in connection with sarcoidosis.…”

“…Although sarcoidosis is described to be associated with several autoimmune diseases [6,7,8,9,10,11,12], there is only one paper describing the association of NSG with Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) [13]. As NSG needs a biopsy specimen to confirm the diagnosis and the disease usually resolves even without treatment, it is possible that several cases may be missed and a high index of suspicion and careful evaluation is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.…”

Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis (NSG) is a rare entity mainly characterized by a prominent granulomatous vasculitis affecting middle-aged or old individuals and with a favorable prognosis. Although many believe it is a variant of sarcoidosis, the proper classification is still a matter of debate as some of its features are found in sarcoidosis but also in Churg-Strauss syndrome, Wegener’s disease and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. In this paper, we described for the first time a case of NSG in a family with several cases of sarcoidosis, reinforcing the relationship between NSG and sarcoidosis. Additional interesting findings were the young age of the patient (15 years old), the symptoms limited to the respiratory tract (uncommon when NSG affects youngsters) and the increase in serologic markers of autoimmune disease. Though complete criteria for autoimmune disease were not present, systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren’s syndrome are possible candidates. As sarcoidosis is described to be associated with several autoimmune diseases, this finding is an additional suggestion of the relationship between both entities.

“…On the other hand the typical focal sialadenitis without granulomas half a year before the appearance of laboratory and histological signs of sarcoidosis would argue for the coexistence of the two disorders. Sarcoidosis is accepted as an exclusion criterion for primary Sjo È gren's Syndrome, but recently two cases of coexisting Sjo È gren's Syndrome and Sarcoidosis in the lung were described (8). The question of the possible coexistence of the two diseases may deserve a reevaluation by collecting and studying cases like ours.…”

“…They also pathologically demonstrated sarcoidosis diagnosis. A pathologic diagnosis of SS is not much used in practice (in 1998, lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia through lung biopsy following the pathologic diagnosis of sarcoidosis, was shown to be complying with SS and received the diagnosis of sarcoidosis-SS association) (6). In the literature, there are only a few cases pathologically diagnosed with SS.…”

Sarcoidosis and Sjögren's syndrome are chronic multi-systemic diseases. The association of these two diseases was reported only in 1% of patients with Sjögren's syndrome. We present this rare case in order to draw the attention to the prognostic importance of this difference. A 62-year-old female patient presented to our hospital with the complaints of dyspnea and a dry cough. Dry eye and dry mouth were present. Laboratory analyses revealed serum anti SS-A (Ro) (+++) antibody positivity. Chest computerized tomography revealed lymphadenopathy and reticular-micronodular appearance evident. Transbronchial needle aspiration guided with endobronchial ultrasound was conducted through 10R and 7 lymph nodes. Pathology was compatible with sarcoidosis. Pulmonary function test revealed 40% carbon monoxide diffusion capacity. It is of prognostic importance to distinguish sarcoidosis imitating Sjögren's syndrome from the association of sarcoidosis-Sjögren's syndrome, since sarcoidosis mostly limits itself and recover by itself without any functional restrictions, but the pulmonary involvement of Sjögren's syndrome causes permanent defects.
