Abstract

A 52-year-old woman with Sjögren's syndrome presented with a dense lymphocytic infiltrate around the bronchial gland disclosed by a transbronchial lung biopsy specimen. Two and a half years after the initial evaluation, her pulmonary status had deteriorated and multiple bullae had developed at both lung bases.
