'''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== | |||
*Precursor lesion of [[cervical squamous cell carcinoma]]. | |||
*Usually associated with [[human papilloma virus]]. | |||
SIL is divided into grades: | |||
*Low-grade. | |||
*High-grade. | |||
