Abstract
The connection between scleroderma and lymphoma is uncommon and its pathogenic relationship is a much debated subject. We describe the case of a patient with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT) of both parotid glands without clinical signs of Sjögren's syndrome who simultaneously developed scleroderma. Independently of the pathogenic mechanism of these two diseases, it seems very important to emphasize that scleroderma may be the first manifestation of lymphoma.Entities:
