A member asked:
What possible diagnoses' does "minor salivary lobules with scattered lymphocytic infiltrates, no acinar atrophy" suggest if not specific to sjogrens?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
May be nothing: There are little lymphocyte outposts all over the body. The biopsy neither diagoses sjogren's nor rules it out.

Non-specific: Unclear that this is not just normal variation.
