Sjogren's disease is an immunoinflammatory rheumatic disease that is characterized by damage to the secreting epithelial glands with the development of parenchymal sialadenitis with xerostomia and keratoconjunctivitis sicca with hypolacrymia. Due to the high heterogeneity of clinical manifestations of this disease, diagnosis is difficult. This article presents a clinical case of a patient with a detailed description of the manifestation, course, and treatment of Sjogren's disease with a rare combination of extraglandular complications in the form of polymyositis and secondary polyneuropathy.
