Overlap myositis (OM) associated with Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a relatively uncommon disorder. It is more difficult to detect OM when a patient had not been previously diagnosed with SS. We report a case of OM associated SS that initially presented with dysphagia followed by proximal weakness. If proximal muscle weakness is preceded by dysphagia, the possibility of OM associated with connective-tissue disease should be considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
