Sjögren syndrome, also Sjögren disease, is a disease that keeps rheumatologists busy. Sjögren is also spelled Sjoegren and Sjogren.

The syndrome may be part of another connective tissue disorder, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, in which case it is called secondary Sjögren syndrome.[1]

General

Clinical - classically:

  • Women in 50s.
  • Dry mouth (xerostomia).
  • Dry eyes (xerophthalmia).

Blood work:[2]

  • ANA +ve.
  • Anti-SSA (Ro) +ve.
  • Anti-SSB (La) +ve.

Diagnostic criteria

Four of six criteria required, must include either autoantibodies or histology:[3]

Criteria Details Type
Oral symptoms any: (1) dry mouth > 3 months, (2) require fluids for swallowing, (3) swollen salivary glands (adults) history
Oral signs any: (1) low salivary flow test positive, (2) salivary scintigraphy positive (3) (parotid) sialography positive clinical test
Ocular symptoms any: (1) dry eye > 3 months, (2) need artifical tears >3x/day, (3) sand or gravel in the eyes sensation history
Ocular signs any: (1) Schirmer's test positive, (2) ocular dye test positive clinical test
Autoantibodies anti-SSA/Ro and/or anti-SSB/La serology
Histology labial minor salivary gland biopsy focus score > 1.0/mm*mm pathology

Microscopic

Features (salivary gland):[2]

DDx:

Note:

  • Diagnosis is based on clinicopathologic correlation; the histology alone is insufficient.
  • Perivascular lymphocytes not important.

Images:

Grading

Lesions can be graded with the Chisholm-Mason classification.[4] It is based on assessing 4 mm2 area of salivary gland tissue and depends on the abundance and aggregation of lymphocytes as follows:[6]

Grade Lymphocytes
0 absent
1 slight infiltrate
2 moderate infiltrate or less than one focus †
3 one focus †
4 more than one focus †

† Focus = aggregrate of 50 lymphocytes.

Sign out

LOWER LIP, BIOPSY:
- SQUAMOUS MUCOSA WITH PARAKERATOSIS.
- SALIVARY GLAND WITH RARE LYMPHOCYTES, NO LYMPHOEPITHELIAL LESIONS APPARENT.
- NO FIBROSIS.

COMMENT:
The inflammation corresponds to Chisholm-Mason classification grade 0-1.
Perivascular lymphocytes are seen focally. Clinical and serologic correlation 
is required.
