Bronchial squamous metaplasia. H&E stain. (WC/Yale Rosen)

Squamous metaplasia, abbreviated SM, is a benign transformation of an epithelium to a squamous morphology.

Immature squamous metaplasia is important to recognize, as it can histologically mimic high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL).

It is seen in a number of contexts - including:
