AB  - Sjögren’s  syndrome  is  a  chronic,  slowly  progressing  autoimmune  disease  characterized  by  lymphocytic  infiltration  of  the  exocrine  glands  resulting  in  xerostomia  and  dry  eyes  (keratoconjunctivitis  sicca).  The  syndrome  has  unique  features  since  it  presents  with  a  wide  clinical  spectrum  from  organ-specific  autoimmune  exocrinopathy  to  systemic  disease.  A  small  but  significant  number  of  patients  develop  malignant  lymphoma.  The  disease  can  present  as  an  entity  alone  or  in  association  with  other  autoimmune  diseases  (Table  354-1).  Finally,  the  histopathologic  lesion  in  the  labial  minor  salivary  glands  is  easily  accessible  aiding  the  diagnosis,  prognosis  and  disease  pathogenesis.
