The likelihood of the development to cancer is related to the degree of dysplasia. [11] 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.
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), also known as cervical dysplasia, is the abnormal growth of cells on the surface of the cervix that could potentially lead to cervical cancer. [1] More specifically, CIN refers to the potentially precancerous transformation of cells of the cervix.
Signs and symptoms vary based on the location of the tumor and as this is a pre-cancerous stage, many patients are asymptomatic. ... Low grade dysplasia means that ...
Mild dysplasia Moderate dysplasia Severe dysplasia / carcinoma in situ HPV-negative lesion with atypical keratinocytes in the basal cell layer WHO 2003 [3] Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) 1: VIN 2: VIN 3: VIN 3 WHO 2014 and ISSVD 2015 [3] Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL)
indefinite for dysplasia (IND) low-grade dysplasia (LGD) high-grade dysplasia (HGD) carcinoma; A 2016 study found that the rate of progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma in Barrett's esophagus patients with no dysplasia, low-grade dysplasia, and high-grade dysplasia are around 0.6%, 13.4%, and 25%, respectively.

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.
Hematoxylin and eosin stains from different sections of a single diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma specimen, showing low-grade (top) and high-grade (bottom) areas.. In pathology, grading is a measure of the cell appearance in tumors and other neoplasms.
When examining cytologic specimens, a diagnosis of ASC-US is given if squamous cells are suspicious for low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) but do not fulfill the criteria. This may be due to limitations in the quality of the specimen, or because the abnormalities in the cells are milder than that seen in LSIL. [ 6 ]
