Overview

The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.

OR

The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].

History and Symptoms

  • The majority of patients with Pleomorphic adenoma are asymptomatic and the symptoms mainly depend upon the size, location and potential to undergo malignant transformation.
  • When Pleomorphic adenoma arises from the lacrimal glands patients presents with the following symtoms:[1]
  1. Proptosis
  2. Diplopia
  3. Slight fullness in the temporal upper eyelid
  4. Visual impairment
  • When Pleomorphic adenoma arises from the parotid gland patients present with:
  1. Dry mouth
  2. Dysphagia(difficulty in swallowing)
  3. Hoarsness
  4. Dyspnea
  5. Difficulty in chewing
  6. Facial nerve weakness
