Abstract
A case of myasthenia gravis (MG) with recurrent submandibular salivary gland enlargement and focal lymphocytic infiltrates in lip salivary glands is described. Though the clinical and close histopathological resemblance with Sjögren's syndrome (SS), a condition characterized by impaired exocrine function of affected glands, no exocrine disturbance evolved during 3-years follow up. The clinical and histopathological overlap between MG and SS, sharing several immunological characteristics, might be of relevance in further studies on the pathogenesis of the two conditions.
