In the past lesions were graded with the ''Chisholm-Mason classification''.<ref name=pmid15956090>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Ramos-Casals | first1 = M. | last2 = Font | first2 = J. | title = Primary Sjögren's syndrome: current and emergent aetiopathogenic concepts. | journal = Rheumatology (Oxford) | volume = 44 | issue = 11 | pages = 1354-67 | month = Nov | year = 2005 | doi = 10.1093/rheumatology/keh714 | PMID = 15956090 | url = http://rheumatology.oxfordjournals.org/content/44/11/1354.long }}</ref>

It is based on assessing 4 mm<sup>2</sup> area of salivary gland tissue and depends on the abundance and aggregation of lymphocytes as follows:<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Chisholm | first1 = DM. | last2 = Mason | first2 = DK. | title = Labial salivary gland biopsy in Sjögren's disease. | journal = J Clin Pathol | volume = 21 | issue = 5 | pages = 656-60 | month = Sep | year = 1968 | doi =  | PMID = 5697370 | PMC = 473887 | url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC473887/?tool=pubmed }}</ref>
It is compares to Daniels-Whitcher grading as follows:
