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 parotid gland patients present with:[1]
    • Dry mouth
    • Dysphagia(difficulty in swallowing)
    • Hoarsness
    • Dyspnea
    • Difficulty in chewing
  • When Pleomorphic adenoma arises from the lacrimal glands patients presents with:[2]
    • Proptosis
    • Diplopia
    • Slight fullness in the temporal upper eyelid
    • Visual impairment
