  The cells of HSIL have a high N/C ratio with smaller cell size than found in LSIL. They are hyperchromatic and have irregular nuclear contours. HSIL does not typically show koilocytic change on cytology.

  atypical squamous cells; ASC
  Atypical squamous cells - ASC represent cellular abnormalities more marked than simple reactive changes, but which do not meet the criteria for squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (SIL). These cells are not of typical appearance and are, therefore, atypical.
  The Pap diagnosis of Atypical Squamous Cells (ASC) is the most common abnormal finding during cervical cancer screening and is reported in about 5 percent of all cervical screening tests.
  There are two (...)
