Overview
- This section should give a brief description of the disease, and have the name of the disease in the first sentence.
- For an example of the overview section of a patient page, click here
What are the symptoms of pleomorphic adenoma?
- Patients usually present with a history of swelling, which is gradual in onset and painless.[1]
- The majority of patients with pleomorphic adenoma are asymptomatic.
- The symptoms mainly depend upon the size, location and the potential to undergo malignant transformation.
- When pleomorphic adenoma arises from the parotid gland patients present with:[2]
- Dry mouth
- Dysphagia(difficulty in swallowing)
- Hoarseness
- Dyspnea
- Difficulty in chewing[3]
- When the tumor arises from the lacrimal glands patients presents with:[4]
- Diplopia
- Proptosis
- Slight fullness in the temporal upper eyelid
- Visual impairment
What causes (disease name)?
- Here you can list the causes of the disease. Remember this is what causes the disease, not what the disease causes.

Who is at highest risk?
- Here you can list, or write in sentences, the most common risk factors for developing the disease.

Diagnosis
- In this section you can outline what the patient might expect to encounter as far as diagnostic studies.
- List the types of studies with a brief description, as well as blood tests, urine tests, pertinent portions of the physical examination etc.
- For an example of a diagnosis section on a patient information page, click here.

Sources
- Put the sources for your information here.
- The National Library of Medicine is a good source to reference for patient information pages: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/.
Things to Remember
- Include a link back to the physician page at the top of the page.
- Always put {{CMG}} at the top of every page.
- Never take content directly from a source without checking copyright.
- Place your patient page in the patient information category as well as any other doctor categories the condition may fit into. To place a category onto a page, use the following code:
- [[Category:Patient information]]
- As with all WikiDoc pages, create hyperlinks for key words and diseases. However, make sure that the hyperlinks link to other patient's information pages and not to regular WikiDoc pages.
