ASC-H
22 September 2019Definition : atypical squamous cells with high-grade lesions that cannot be excluded (ASC-H).
WHO : https://screening.iarc.fr/atlasglossdef.php?key=ASC-H&img
The Bethesda System 2001: ASC-H: atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude high grade lesion. They represent less than 10% of ASC.
New term in ASC, to individualise cytologic changes of squamous cells that are suggestive of HSIL but lack criteria required for a definitive interpretation.
These cases are associated with a higher (...) -

HSIL
12 January 2019The 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.

12 January 2018atypical 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.
