Dysplasia is the earliest form of precancerous lesion which pathologists can recognize in a pap smear or in a biopsy. Dysplasia can be low grade or high grade. The risk of low-grade dysplasia transforming into high-grade dysplasia, and eventually cancer, is low. Treatment is usually straightforward.
The two tiers or classifications are low or high grade dysplasia. Low grade dysplasia means that the tissue maintains the glandular structure, cellular variance (pleomorphism) is mild or absent, nuclei maintain basal polarity and mitotic activity is not markedly increased.
High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion Represents a mix of low- and high-grade lesions not easily differentiated by histology; HSIL+ encompasses HSIL, AGC, and cancer; CIN 2 (Grade II) Moderate dysplasia confined to the basal 2/3 of the epithelium; Represents a mix of low- and high-grade lesions not easily differentiated by histology

Dysplasia is the earliest form of precancerous lesion recognizable in a biopsy. Dysplasia can be low-grade or high-grade. High-grade dysplasia may also be referred to as carcinoma in situ. Invasive carcinoma, usually simply called cancer, has the potential to invade and spread to surrounding tissues and structures, and may eventually be lethal.
LEEP cone biopsy displaying normal cervical epithelium (far left) progressing to borderline koilocytosis, to LSIL, and to HSIL (far right). A squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) is an abnormal growth of epithelial cells on the surface of the cervix, commonly called squamous cells.
A low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL or LGSIL) indicates possible cervical dysplasia. LSIL usually indicates mild dysplasia (CIN 1), more than likely caused by a human papillomavirus infection. It is usually diagnosed following a Pap smear. [citation needed]
Hip dysplasia may occur at birth or develop in early life. [4] Regardless, it does not typically produce symptoms in babies less than a year old. [5] Occasionally one leg may be shorter than the other. [4] The left hip is more often affected than the right. [5] Complications without treatment can include arthritis, limping, and low back pain.
