Correlations between the histopathological alterations in minor salivary glands and the clinically suspected Sjögren's syndrome.

In sicca syndrome patients the xerostomia, xerophthalmia and the serological findings may strongly suggest the autoimmune Sjögren's syndrome, but the histological findings in the labial salivary gland biopsies do not always justify the suspected diagnosis. The aim of this study was to compare the histomorphological changes and the clinical findings in patients with pathologically established Sjögren's syndrome and in cases with negative histology. A total of 133 labial biopsies have been retrospectively evaluated from 2015 to May 2022, and the characteristic Sjögren's lesions were found in 67 cases.

[Pancreatic myxoglobulosis - a real pearl?].

The authors present a pancreatic head carcinoma and an independently coexistent simple mucinous cyst, in which myxoglobulosis has developed. This lesion is a rare, peculiar entity, mainly occurring in the appendix or in oral mu-coceles, but in pancreas this is the first case in the literature.

Prevalence of Sjögren's syndrome in patients with dry mouth in the region of Central Hungary.

Objective: One-third of the Hungarian population suffers from xerostomia. Since there is no evidence of the actual prevalence of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in Hungary, this study aimed to evaluate the same.

Materials And Methods: Data were collected from the Faculty of Dentistry, Semmelweis University from 2008 to 2015.

A Study of Prognostic Factors in Young Patients With Non-HPV Oral Cancer in Central Europe.

The etiological factors of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck have been well known for a long time. It is also well known that the incidence of oral cancer diagnosed in younger patients is on the rise. Due to the young age of these patients, the increase in the number of these cases and the fact that many of them neither smoke nor drink alcohol it has been suggested that other factors might be at play in the carcinogenesis of oral cancer.
