A clinical case of a 55-year-old man with syndrome of primary Sjögren, seronegative, normoglobulinemic and normocomplementary with 7 years of evolution, which developed acute lymphoblastic leukemia, having suffered recurrent lympho-adenopathy and paresthetic meralgia as previous clinical signs, is presented. Clinical, serological and immunologic characteristics of this syndrome are reviewed, highlighting its rare appearance among men. While appearance of malignant lymphoproliferation disorders is well known, evolution to acute or chronic myeloid leukemia is very rare and so far, an acute lymphoblastic leukemia as the one presented in this study has never been described.

D012859 Sjogren's Syndrome Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease in which the salivary and lacrimal glands undergo progressive destruction by lymphocytes and plasma cells resulting in decreased production of saliva and tears. The primary form, often called sicca syndrome, involves both KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS SICCA and XEROSTOMIA. The secondary form includes, in addition, the presence of a connective tissue disease, usually rheumatoid arthritis.
