"All that glitters is not gold": sialomegaly, xerostomia, and dry eye is not always Sjögren's syndrome.

Although dry mouth, dry eye, and swollen salivary glands are the hallmark manifestations of Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), a wide spectrum of other conditions should be considered for differential diagnosis.

The patient also had clinical signs of Sjögren's syndrome.
