Overview

Parotid gland CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome and finding include abnormal diffuse fat tissue deposition and diffuse punctate calcification.

  • Chest CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of Sjögren's syndrome, which include:[4][5][6][2][7][8]
    • Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia
      • Patchy ground-glass attenuation
      • Intralobular reticulation with a lower lobe predilection
    • Interstitial pneumonia pattern
      • Increased reticular markings in a basilar and peripheral distribution
      • Areas of subpleural honeycombing
    • lymphoid interstitial pneumonia pattern
      • Ground-glass attenuation
      • Centrilobular and subpleural nodules
      • Septal thickening
      • Reticular opacities
      • Bronchial/bronchiolar thickening
      • Thin-walled cysts
    • Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia
      • Nodular or mass-like consolidation with or without air bronchogram
    • Follicular bronchiolitis
      • Centrilobular and peribronchial nodules
    • Organizing pneumonia
      • Consolidative and ground-glass opacities
      • Centrilobular nodules and tree-in-bud opacities
    • Pulmonary nodular amyloidosis
      • Diffuse nodules
      • Cystic lesions
      • Focal consolidation
      • Diffuse septal thickening
