Congenitally missing teeth are much more common in permanent teeth. Only about 0.5 to 0.9% of kids have a congenitally missing baby tooth. If a child has a congenitally missing baby tooth, it is likely that there isnât a permanent tooth developing under the gums of the congenitally missing tooth.
What does fluid on/in the lung mean? by winfrith49 Â» Fri Jan 13, 2012 5:46 pm. Fluid on the lungs cannot be a definite diagnosis for lung cancer...you'll have to have the fluid biopsied and tested...if malignant(cancerous) cells are found, then it'd be lung cancer. However, fluid on the lungs can also mean infection (pneumonia or TB or something else), pancreatitis and other conditions. So, I can;t say for sure that you have cancer what would lead to the diagnosis of your condition is a biopsy.
A pleural effusion is a buildup of extra fluid in the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This area is called the pleural space. About half of people with cancer develop a pleural effusion. When cancer grows in the pleural space, it causes a malignant pleural effusion. This condition is a sign that the cancer has spread, or metastasized, to other areas of the body. Common causes of malignant pleural effusion are lymphoma and cancers of the breast, lung, and ovary.
