 # Cherry-blossom appearance on a sialogram indicates:
a) Mucoepidermoid cell carcinoma
b) Acinar cell carcinoma
c) Sjogren's syndrome 
d) Pleomorphic adenoma


The correct answer is C. Sjogren's syndrome.

Sialographs of Sjogren's syndrome demonstrate punctuate, cavitary defects which produce a 'cherry blossom' or 'branchless fruit laden tree' effect.
