Abstract
A pinguecula is a small, raised conjunctival nodule at the temporal or nasa l limbus classically associated with conjunctival microtrauma from exposure to sunlight and/or to dust. We report two cases occurring during the cours e of Sjogren's syndrome. To our knowledge this association has never been d escribed.
