Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system attacks parts of your own body by mistake. It attacks the glands that produce tears and saliva. We report the case of a 51 -year-old woman who presented with bilateral parotid gland enlargement as the initial manifestation of primary Sjögren syndrome.
