low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion - (pronounced) (. . . SKWAY-mus IN-truh-eh-pih-THEE-lee-ul LEE-zhun) An area of abnormal cells found on the surface of certain organs such as cervix, vagina, vulva, anus and esophagus. Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions look slightly abnormal under the microscope. They are usually caused by infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) and are found on a Pap test or biopsy. Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions usually go away on their own without treatment, but sometimes they can become cancerous and spread to nearby tissues. A low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion is sometimes referred to as mild dysplasia. Also called LSIL
