Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is known as a systemic disease which is accompanied by vari-ous collagen diseases, malignant lymphoma or sarcoidosis. This case of SjS was complicated with IIc type of early gastric cancer and portal liver cirrhosis. The early gastric cancer was inoperable due to the decompensatory liver cirrhosis and within 3 years the former advanced to Borrmann's type 4 scirrhous carcinoma, of which the patient died. " The complication of gastric carcinoma with SjS is very rare. Since the first case re-ported by Thomas in 1973, only 2 cases including this one have been reported in Japan. This case is the first report on the complication of SjS with liver cirrhosis and gastric cancer. The autopsy also revealed the complication of fibrosis of thyroid and interstitial pneumonia.
