To the Editor: Recently, an association of psoriasis with collagen diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) , Sjogren's syndrome (SjS), and Hashimoto's thyroiditis has been reported. We describe two cases of psoriasis vulgaris associated with Sjogren's syndrome and review the literature. Case Report: Case 1: A fifty-six year-old man with a ten-year history of psoriasis vulgaris developed diffuse erythema on the face in August of 1997. Physical examination including phototest revealed no abnormalities. The laboratory findings showed a normal blood cell count and blood chemistry. Antinuclear antibody was positive at a titer of 1:160 (speckled). Anti SS-Aand SS-B antibodies were also positive at an index of 33.0 (normal: 5-15 in our institute) and 31.7 (normal: 10-25) respectively. Anti-ssDNA antibody and anti-ds-DNA antibody were negative. No abnormal reaction was seen in Shirmer or Rose-Bengal tests. A lip biopsy specimen showed focal mononuclear cell infiltration around the salivary ducts and fibrosis of the gland (grade II). Case 2: A sixty-nine-year-old man had been treated for three years on the basis of a diagnosis of psoriasis vulgaris. In March of 1997, annular-shaped erythema developed on his trunk along with aggravation of the psoriatic lesion. The histopathological findings from the annular erythema included non-specific dermal infiltration of mononuclear cells around the blood vessels. Antinuclear antibody was positive at a titer of 1:40 (speckled). Anti SS-A was positive at an
