Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, abbreviated LSIL, is a pre-cancerous lesions of the uterine cervix.

Increasingly, the term is being applied to other anatomical sites, e.g. vagina.

It is in the larger category of squamous intraepithelial lesion, abbreviated SIL.

General

SIL is divided into grades:

  • Low-grade.
  • High-grade.

The new and old terminology

SIL (current terminology) LSIL HSIL
Recent terminology CIN I CIN II, CIN III
Very old terminology mild dysplasia moderate dysplasia, severe dysplasia

Treatment

Overview:

  • LSIL: follow-up unless persistent. It usually regresses on its own.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • "Koilocytic atypia":[2]
    • Cytoplasmic halos.
    • Nuclear enlargement >=3:1 enlarged nucleus:normal nucleus.
    • Nuclear membrane irregularities.
    • Nuclear hyperchromasia.
    • Coarse chromatin.
    • Binucleation may be seen (cytopathic effect of HPV).[3]

Note:

  • Atypical cells usually close to basement membrane.
    • May be seen, focally, in the upper layers.[2]

DDx:

Koilocytes versus benign squamous

Koilocytes:

  • Perinuclear clearing.
  • Nuclear changes.
    • Size similar (or larger) to those in the basal layer of the epithelium.
    • Nuclear enlargement should be evident on low power, i.e. 25x. [4]
    • Central location - nucleus should be smack in the middle of the cell.

Notes:

  1. Both perinuclear clearing and nuclear changes are essential.
  2. Benign cells have a small nucleus that is peripheral.

IHC

Features:[5]

  • p16.
    • Diffuse strong staining involving at least all of the basal aspect of the epithelium = CIN II or CIN III.
    • Patchy, weak positive staining = CIN I or squamous metaplasia.
  • Ki-67.
    • Several positive cells above basal layer suggests CIN II or CIN III.

Notes:

  • Both p16 and Ki-67 are usually negative in CIN I -- 75% of cases.[6]
    • CIN I with p16 staining appears to have a higher risk of progression the p16 negative CIN I.[7]
