Abstract

We report the case of a 59 years old woman affected by lung and joint sarcoidosis, secondary Sjogren's syndrome refractory to common disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) that regressed with infliximab and methotrexate. Tc-99m-HYNIC- TOC scintigraphy was useful in diagnosis, choice of treatment and follow-up.
