Core Tip
Core Tip: Lymphoma is a severe complication of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the most common type. We report a rare case of cutaneous MALT lymphoma with SS. A literature review was performed to provide information on the condition’s clinical manifestations and associated extensive sites. Our case highlights that the skin is rarely involved aside from the parotid gland, orbital adnexa, lung, thyroid, and stomach. Patients may have no symptoms; thus, regular physical assessments are required.
