To investigate the clinical and laboratory characteristics of tumor like Sjögren's syndrome (TLSS) patients and non-tumor like Sjögren's syndrome (NTLSS) and the incidence of lymphoma in patients of Sjögren's syndrome (SS).A retrospective analysis was carried out in 199 primary SS (including TLSS) patients who were recruited in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from 1998 to 2010. Clinical and laboratory information were collected. The patients were divided into two groups: TLSS (n = 25) and NTLSS (n = 174). Clinical and laboratory characteristics were compared between these two groups by a statistical analysis.Of the 25 TLSS patients, 23 had enlargements of parotid glands and 2 had enlargements of submandibular glands. There were significant differences of salivary scintigraphy appearance (P = 0.018), hypergammaglobulinemia (P = 0.014), rheumatoid factor positive rate (P = 0.001), formation of the ectopic germinal centers (P = 0.014), double positive rate of anti-SSA antibody and anti-SSB antibody (P0.001) between the TLSS and NTLSS patients. Among the 25 TLSS patients, 3 developed lymphomas, accounting for 1.5% (3/199) of the total 199 patients and 12% (3/25) of the TLSS patients. Lymphoma subtypes included one diffused large B-cell lymphoma and two mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. There was no lymphoma detected in NTLSS patients.There are clinical and laboratory differences between TLSS and NTLSS patients, with a more tendency to develop lymphomas in TLSS patients. |
