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
European criteria of 2002:[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/ 4 mm*mm; definition: multiple lymphocytic foci with >50 lymphocytes adjacent to mucinous acini, evaluated in 4 mm*mm of glandular tissue | pathology |
The diagnosis is made if either:[3]
- Four of six criteria required, must include either autoantibodies or histology.
- Three of the four objective (non-history) criteria are met.
Microscopic
Features (salivary gland):[2]
- Lymphocytic infiltration - key feature.
- "Benign lymphoepithelial lesion"[4] - intraepithelial lymphocytes.
- Viable salivary gland or lacrimal gland acini.
- +/-Plasma cells.
- +/-Fibrosis.
DDx:
Note:
- Diagnosis is based on clinicopathologic correlation; the histology alone is insufficient.
- Perivascular lymphocytes not important.

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.
