Screening for malignant neoplasms of cervix
ICD-9 Code Transition: 723.1 Code M54.2 is the diagnosis code used for Cervicalgia (Neck Pain). It is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives .

Cervical lymphadenopathy is abnormal enlargement of lymph nodes (LNs) in the head and neck usually >1 cm.
Adenopathy typically refers to swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy). Lymph nodes aren't technically glands, because they don't produce and release chemicals. However, people often refer to lymphadenopathy as “swollen glands.”
They may be particularly interested to learn about your history of infection in your sinuses and neck area, including your throat, ears, salivary glands, and skin. Cervical lymphadenopathy isn't a disease of its own. Instead, it's often a sign of an underlying health condition that causes infection or inflammation.
Postauricular lymphadenopathy is characteristic of rubella although not specific, and preauricular lymph nodes may enlarge as a result of eye infections or cat scratch disease (Bartonella henselae).
The superficial cervical lymph nodes are lymph nodes that lie near the surface of the neck. Superficial lymph glands and lymphatic vessels of head and neck.
Lymphadenopathy refers to any disease process involving lymph nodes that are abnormal in size and consistency. Lymphadenitis specifically refers to lymphadenopathies that are caused by inflammatory processes.
Cervical lymph nodes are located in the sides and back of the neck. These glands are usually very small. However, when a lymph node is greater than 1 centimeter in diameter, it is enlarged. The cervical lymph nodes sit deep inside the neck.
Cervical adenopathy is a common feature of many viral infections. Infectious mononucleosis often manifests with posterior and anterior cervical adenopathy. Firm tender nodes that are not warm or erythematous characterize this lymph node enlargement.
Cervical lymph node swelling can be a reliable indicator of infection or other inflammation in the area. It may also indicate cancer, but this is far less common. More often than not, swollen lymph nodes are just part and parcel of the lymphatic system doing its job.
The mastoid lymph nodes (retroauricular lymph nodes or posterior auricular glands) are a small group of lymph nodes, usually two in number, located just beneath the ear, on the mastoid insertion of the sternocleidomastoideus muscle, beneath the posterior auricular muscle.
Lymphadenopathy is the term for swelling of the lymph nodes. These are the bean-shaped organs found in the underarm, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen. They act as filters for the lymph fluid as it circulates through the body.
Posterior cervical lymphadenopathy can arise from localized bacterial and viral infections, as well as lymphoma. [2] Axillary lymphadenopathy can also be related to lymphoma or breast malignancy but can be involved by infections such as cat-scratch disease.
