| Περίληψη: | Sjogren syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that leads to dryness in the eyes and mouth. Nodular pulmonary amyloidosis is a localized amyloid deposition pathology commonly seen with monoclonal lymphoproliferative disorders. We present a patient who came in with dyspnea and was found to have nodular pulmonary amyloidosis on biopsy. Commonly associated lymphoproliferative pathologies were ruled out and on further workup, the patient was found to have Sjogren syndrome. This case demonstrates pulmonary nodular amyloidosis as a rare presentation of Sjogren syndrome in the setting of relatively well-controlled symptoms. Detection of pulmonary nodular amyloidosis should prompt evaluation of associated conditions such as malignancy and autoimmune disorders to guide further management.
