ABSTRACT

We describe the case of a Sjögren syndrome presented with bilateral lacrimal gland enlargement. The histopathological examination revealed MALT lymphoma on one side and lymphoepitelial disease on the other side. The discrimination of these two entities was not possible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However the involvement was clearly shown. Patients with Sjögren syndrome are at increased risk of lymphoma development. MRI clearly depicts the orbital involvement and should be the first diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of orbital imaging in these patients.

Keywords:

MALT lymphoma, MRI.
