Minor Salivary Gland, Biopsy: | |||
- Benign minor salivary gland with one focus of chronic | |||
lymphocyte predominant inflammation. | |||
- Focus score (FS) much less than one; not suggestive of | |||
Sjoegren's disease. | |||
Comment: | |||
Estimated area of salivary gland: 40 mm*mm. | |||
Number of foci (~50 lymphocytes): 1. | |||
Plasma cells: not apparent. | |||
Fibrosis: none/minimal. | |||
Focus score (focus / area x 4 mm*mm) = << 1. | |||
The findings do not exclude Sjoegren's disease. Clinical and serologic correlation | |||
is required. | |||
