| Abstract |
| Abstract Primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS), sarcoidosis (SA), and psoriasis vulgaris (PV) are all chronic diseases of unknown etiology. Recent studies suggest that activated T cells play a central role in their pathogenesis. We describe a case of a Japanese woman with primary SS complicated by SA and PV. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which these three diseases coexist. Although these three disorders may have a common immunopathogenic mechanism, the extreme rarity of their coexistence suggests that distinct etiological mechanisms are also involved and appear to play an important role in triggering and developing each disease. |
