Sjögren's syndrome is typically associated with a lymphocytic and plasmacytic infiltrate in the salivary, parotid, and lacrimal glands, leading to a sicca syndrome, which is commonly encountered in the rheumatology practice. This immune process often affects non-exocrine organs, including the lung and kidneys. The complication of lymphoma is common in Sjögren's and under-recognized. In this session, recognition, prevention, and management of oral complications, ILD, renal disease, and lymphoma will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

  • Delineate novel treatments for common complications of dry mouth including prevention of caries, dental implants, glossodynia, and candida infections
  • Discuss updates in the pathophysiology of the salivary gland hypofunction and manifestations of lymphoma in Sjogren’s
  • Describe evaluation of lung and renal complications in Sjögren's
