Population-based study of patients with primary Sj ögren's syndrome and lymphoma: lymphoma subtypes, clinical characteristics, and gender differences.

Conclusion: DLBCL and MZL are common in pSS patients, but only MZL/MALT lymphoma occurs at an increased relative frequency in pSS compared to the general population. The study supports increased awareness of signs of lymphoma in men in the first years after pSS diagnosis.
