Description


 

Follow-up

No abnormal cells detected.

Atypia


 

Cells of Uncertain Significance


 

ASCUS


 


 

Some cells show a few changes, or mild atypia. These changes might be due to a type of infection or Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)


 

There is not one standard management plan for a patient with an
ASCUS Pap smear. The appropriate follow-up and testing will depend on
the patient's personal history. Nevertheless, appropriate evaluation
usually includes a repeat Pap smear and/or colposcopic examination.
Sometimes the inflammation is due to an infection or some other
irritant and resolves with appropriate treatment.


 

LGSIL


 

Low Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions


 

Class III


 

CIN I (mild dysplasia)


 

Some normal cells are changed into abnormal cells. These cells could
change into cancer in the future. These changes also are called mild
dysplasia.


 

Usually, colposcopy is performed after an LGSIL Pap smear. However,
close follow-up only may be warranted depending on the patient's
personal history.


 


 

HGSIL


 

CIN II (moderate dysplasia)


 

High Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions


 

Class IV


 

CIN III (severe dysplasia)


 

CIS (carcinoma in situ)


 

This also is called moderate to severe dysplasia.








 


 

Colposcopic evaluation is necessary after an HGSIL Pap smear is
discovered. A biopsy may be done to determine the amount of
abnormality. Treatment involves surgical removal of abnormal cells.


 


 

Squamous Cancer


 

Cancer cells are present.


 

Biopsy to confirm Pap tests and determine treatment. The diagnosis
of cervical cancer must be made by a biopsy. The Pap smear is only a
screening test.
