Clinical Study of the Relationship between Sjögren Syndrome and T-Cell Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia: Single-Center Experience

Abstract: The relationship between Sjögren syndrome (SS) and T-cell large granular lymphocytic (T-LGL) leukemia remains unclear. In this paper, we report for the first time a large case series of 21 patients with primary and secondary SS associated with T-LGL leukemia. Our results suggest the importance of considering T-LGL leukemia in the diagnostic evaluation of SS patients, particularly when neutropenia occurs. We also postulate that elevated antinuclear antibody titers in patients with T-LGL leukemia indicate the ne… Show more

“…Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the infiltration of autoreactive T-and B cells into the salivary and lacrimal glands, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. Few cases of Sjogren's syndrome occurring concurrently with T-LGL leukemia have been reported in the literature, and the causal relationship between Sjogren's syndrome and T-LGL leukemia is unclear [97]. One proposed mechanism involves the activation of IL-15.…”
