'''High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion''', abbreviated '''HSIL''', 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 of the uterine cervix|squamous intraepithelial lesion]]''', abbreviated '''SIL'''.
==General==
*Precursor lesion of [[cervical squamous cell carcinoma]].
*Usually associated with [[human papilloma virus]].
Divided into grades:
*Low-grade.
*High-grade.

===Treatment===
Overview:
*[[LSIL]]: follow-up, as it usually regress. 
*[[HSIL]]: excision (e.g. [[cervical cone|cone]], [[LEEP]], laser) + follow-up.
====Procedures====
[[Loop electrosurgical excision procedure]] (LEEP):
*Used for squamous lesions -- pathologist typically gets several pieces.
Cone:
*Used for endocervical lesions, i.e. adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS).
*Pathologist gets a ring or donut-shaped piece of tissue.
==Gross==
*Acetowhite lesion at colposcopy.
==Microscopic==
Features:<ref name=Ref_PBoD1075-6>{{Ref PBoD|1075-6}}</ref>
*Increased nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, loss of polarity, incr. mitoses, hyperchromasia.
**If there are large nuclei... you should seen 'em on low power, i.e. 25x.
Notes:
#Hyperchromasia is a very useful feature for identifying SIL (particularly at low power, i.e. 25x).
#Koilocytes are the key feature of LSIL.
#Koilocytes are ''not'' typically seen in HSIL.
#Large irregular nuclei are not required for HSIL... but you should think about it.
#Some mild changes at the squamo-columnar junction are expected.
#Look for the location of mitoses...
#* If there is a mitosis in the inner third (of the epithelial layer) = think LSIL. 
#* If there is a mitosis in the middle third (of the epithelial layer) = think HSIL (CIN II).
#* If there is a mitosis in the outer third = think HSIL (CIN III).
#Prominent [[nucleoli]] are ''not'' present in HSIL.<ref name=Ref_GP146>{{Ref GP|146}}</ref>
#*Nucleoli are common in reactive changes.<ref>STC. January 2009.</ref>
#The most probably place for SIL is the posterior cervix (6 o'clock position) - risk is marginally increased.<ref name=pmid16378031>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Pretorius | first1 = RG. | last2 = Zhang | first2 = X. | last3 = Belinson | first3 = JL. | last4 = Zhang | first4 = WH. | last5 = Ren | first5 = SD. | last6 = Bao | first6 = YP. | last7 = Qiao | first7 = YL. | title = Distribution of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2, 3 and cancer on the uterine cervix. | journal = J Low Genit Tract Dis | volume = 10 | issue = 1 | pages = 45-50 | month = Jan | year = 2006 | doi =  | PMID = 16378031 }}

*The difference between CIN II (moderate dysplasia) and CIN III (severe dysplasia) is: changes as in CIN II + outer third (or full thickness).<ref name=Ref_PBoD1075-6>{{Ref PBoD|1075-6}}</ref>

increased numbers of superficial epithelial cells.
The HSIL is in keeping with at least CIN 2.
</pre>

- ENDOCERVICAL EPITHELIUM WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
COMMENT:
A p16 stain marks the full thickness of the squamous epithelium and is strong.
A Ki-67 stain marks increased numbers of superficial epithelial cells.
The epithelium surrounding the lesion is endocervical. No normal exocervical epithelium is
apparent in the sampled tissue.
The HSIL is in keeping with CIN 2.
</pre>
====CIN 3====
<pre>
UTERINE CERVIX, BIOPSY:
- CERVICAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA 3 (SEVERE DYSPLASIA).
</pre>
<pre>
COMMENT:
A p16 stain marks the full thickness of the squamous epithelium and is strong. 
A Ki-67 stain marks increased numbers of superficial epithelial cells.
</pre>
===Micro===
====CIN 2====
The sections show the transformation zone.
The squamous epithelium has a moderately increased nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, and
nuclear hyperchromasia extending to the mid level of the epithelium. Binucleation
is present. A mid level mitoses is seen in one section.
A p16 immunostain, within the limits of the tissue orientation, focally marks (in the
suspicious area) weakly the full thickness of the squamous epithelium and strongly
marks up to the lower half of the epithelium. A Ki-67 immunostain marks increased numbers of
superficial epithelial cells.
====CIN 3====
The sections show the transformation zone.
The squamous epithelium has an increased nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, loss of polarity, mitoses and nuclear hyperchromasia extending to the superficial third of the epithelium.  Mitoses are seen in the upper third of the epithelium.  No nucleoli are present. No invasion is identified.
The columnar epithelium has focal involvement by the squamous lesion.  There is no columnar dysplasia.  The margins are negative for dysplasia.
=====Biopsy=====
The sections show the transformation zone.
The squamous epithelium has an increased nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, loss of polarity,
mitoses and nuclear hyperchromasia extending to the superficial third of the epithelium.
Mitoses are seen in the upper third of the epithelium. Nucleoli are not apparent.
No invasion is identified.
No columnar dysplasia is identified.
=====Alternate=====
The sections show fragments of transformation zone.
There is dysplastic squamous epithelium with coarse chromatin, nuclear hyperchromasia,
nuclear enlargement, irregular nuclear membranes, and an increase nuclear-to-cytoplasmic
ratio.  Mitotic activity is abundant focally (5 mitoses/0.2376 mm*mm).  The dysplastic
squamous epithelium does not show appreciable maturation toward the surface (CIN 3).
The dysplastic squamous epithelium is not associated with stroma; thus, the
presence/absence of invasion cannot be assessed.  Small nucleoli are seen rarely.
There is benign squamous epithelium. Scant benign stripped endocervical epithelium is
present.
