Minor salivary gland biopsy is essential for the diagnosis of Sjögren’s syndrome. The authors demonstrate the use of chalazion clamp to facilitate this procedure. Chalazion clamp retains the lip mucosal bleeding and exposes the salivary glands more easily for their dissection and excision individually, which facilitates the removal of various glands to histopathological examination.
