Popis: Herein, we describe a 44-year-old female diagnosed with histologically proven coexistence of primary Sjogren's syndrome and sarcoidosis with pulmonary and muscular involvement. The differential diagnosis may be difficult, but this is not an exceptional case, which highlights the need to critically revise the consideration of sarcoidosis as an exclusion for primary Sjogren's syndrome, as established in current classification criteria.
