Lymphomas complicating Sjögren's syndrome and hepatitis C virus infection may share a common pathogenesis: chronic stimulation of rheumatoid factor B cells.

Annals of the rheumatic diseases - 1 Nov 2001

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The occurrence of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a complication of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and, at least in some countries, of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Lymphomas occurring in both diseases share a number of characteristics: predominance of low grade, marginal zone histological type, frequency of mucosal localisation, possible transformation into a large B cell lymphoma, association...
