Low prevalence of clinicopathologic and sialographic changes in salivary glands of men with Sögren's syndrome

Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is uncommon in men and there are few reports that describe their clinical features. In the present study, we investigated salivary gland manifestations in men with SS and compared the results with those in women patients.

The prevalence of SS-related sialographic findings, such as globular and punctate sialectasis, was significantly (P
