Question: is ascus the same as lsil?
Answer: The changes are almost always a sign of an HPV infection. ASC-US is the most common abnormal Pap test result. Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL)—LSIL means that the cervical cells show changes that are mildly abnormal. LSIL usually is caused by an HPV infection that often goes away on its own.
