Unknown: results of cytology unknown.
ASC-US: atypical squamous cells of unknown significance.
ASC-H: atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL).
LSIL: low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, according to the Bethesda system.
HSIL: high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, according to the Bethesda system.
