Minor Salivary Gland, Biopsy: | |||
- Benign minor salivary gland with one focus of chronic lymphocyte | |||
predominant inflammation. | |||
- Focus score less than one; not suggestive of Sjoegren's disease. | |||
Comment: | |||
Estimated area of salivary gland: 50 mm*mm. | |||
Number of foci (~50 lymphocytes): 1. | |||
Plasma cells: few (<10%). | |||
Fibrosis: none/minimal. | |||
Focus score (number of foci / area x 4 mm*mm) = < 1. | |||
The findings do not exclude Sjoegren's disease. Clinical and serologic | |||
correlation is required. | |||
