Salivary gland in a patient with Sjögren syndrome. This section of submandibular salivary gland has a lymphocytic infiltrate (in the left upper corner of the photomicrograph), associated with some disruption of the glandular parenchyma. With such destruction of salivary gland tissue, the inability to produce saliva is impaired; hence, the dry mouth associated with Sjögren syndrome. Hematoxylin and eosin, 200×. Source: Chapter 3.
