 LOWER LIP, BIOPSY:
-- SQUAMOUS MUCOSA WITH PARAKERATOSIS.
+- MINOR SALIVARY GLAND WITH FOCAL LYMPHOCYTIC SIALADENITIS, SEE COMMENT.
-- SALIVARY GLAND WITH RARE LYMPHOCYTES, NO LYMPHOEPITHELIAL LESIONS APPARENT.
+- SQUAMOUS MUCOSA WITH PARAKERATOSIS, MILD.
-- NO FIBROSIS.
+- NO SIGNIFICANT FIBROSIS.
 COMMENT:
-The inflammation corresponds to Chisholm-Mason classification grade 0-1.
+Glandular area: 6 mm*mm.
-Perivascular lymphocytes are seen focally. Clinical and serologic correlation
+Interstitial fat: not apparent.
-is required.
+Plasma cells: not apparent.
+Fibrosis: none apparent (0% of salivary gland area).
+Ductular dilation: not apparent.
+Gross focus score: 2 one definite focus (>100 lymphocytes), one marginal focus (~50
+lymphocytes).
+Focus score (foci/4 mm*mm): 1.3.
+The histologic findings are compatible with those seen in Sjoegren's disease
+(focus score >= 1).
+This result needs to be combined with the clinical and serologic criteria used
