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
