Pseudo-Sjogren syndrome with hyperlipoproteinemia
J. A. Goldman and E. H. Julian
Eight patients with parotid enlargement were seen because of varying
musculoskeletal complaints. All were overweight and hypertensive; six had
diabetes mellitus, four had palpable hepatomegaly, and six were 49 years or
older. One patient had arthritis type IIB hyperlipoproteinemia. Four
patients had varying degrees of fibrositis, and two of these also had
osteoarthritis. Of the others, one each had gout, Reiter syndrome, and
restless legs syndrome. All had hyperlipoproteinemia type IV or IIB, and
none abused alcohol. None of these patients have true Sjogren syndrome.
