Asymptomatic pneumomediastinum after wisdom tooth extraction.

چکیده
gammagraphy may be normal or show multiple small, peripheral repletion defects. The diagnosis of pulmonary tumor embolism requires finding tumor cells in the lung vasculature. Cervical cancer is the second most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality related with cancer among women in developing countries: 371,200 new cases each year, with a 50% mortality rate. The incidence of invasive cervical cancer is related with age, with a mean age at the time of diagnosis of 47 in the United States. As for the histopathology, squamous carcinoma represents 80% of cervical cancers, adenocarcinoma 15% and adenosquamous carcinoma between 3% and 5%. The lesion may present as a superficial ulceration, an exophytic tumor of the external cervix or infiltration of the cervix. 15% of patients show no visible lesion because the carcinoma is inside the endocervical canal. Cervical cancer may propagate by direct extension in the uterus, vagina, parametrium, peritoneal cavity, bladder or rectum, and by lymphatic or hematogenous dissemination.5

Moreover, microorganisms might spread from the oral cavity into deeper spaces. Hence, rapid diagnosis of subc...
