Is ASC-H precancer?

ASC-H primarily affects the squamous metaplastic cells. The cells display abnormal changes, but they cannot be definitively diagnosed as a high-grade squamous lesion. Patients with ASC-H are at higher risk of developing a precancerous lesion.

What does Ascus H mean?

A finding of abnormal cells in a Pap test. It means there are abnormal squamous cells in the tissue that lines the outer part of the cervix. ASC-H may be a sign of a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), which may become cervical cancer if untreated.

What is the difference between ASC-H and HSIL?

ASC-H Requires Colposcopy

Since a high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) cannot be excluded in ASC-H, triage directly to colposcopy is recommended by the ASCCP for ASCH diagnosis.

How do you get ASC-H?

Causes of ASC-H include human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, inflammation of the cervix, postmenopausal status, prior radiation therapy, and inadvertent sampling of endometrial cells.

Does ASC-h mean I have HPV?

Atypical Squamous Cells (ASC-H)

Often, cell changes seen in ASC-H are caused by infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Some types of HPV are called high risk because they can cause changes in cervical cells that, over time, could lead to cancer.

Is ASC-H common?

Smears suggesting ASC-H are extremely rare with a reported rate of less than0. 5% of all interpretations (You et al., 2010; Cetiner et al., 2013). Management of abnormal cervical cytology mainly depends on the risk of underlying significant cervical histopathology found in each abnormal smear category.

What is ASCUS with positive high risk HPV?

A finding of abnormal cells in the tissue that lines the outer part of the cervix. ASCUS is the most common abnormal finding in a Pap test. It may be a sign of infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) or other types of infection, such as a yeast infection.

Does ASC h mean HSIL?

What does ASC-H mean? ASC-H stands for atypical squamous cells, cannot rule out high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). This result means that your pathologist saw abnormal-looking squamous cells in your Pap test.

What is endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ?

Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) is a non-invasive type of cervical cancer. The disease starts from glands in a part of the cervix called the endocervical canal. If not treated, AIS can turn into a type of invasive cancer called endocervical adenocarcinoma.

What is cellular dysplasia?

A term used to describe the presence of abnormal cells within a tissue or organ. Dysplasia is not cancer, but it may sometimes become cancer. Dysplasia can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on how abnormal the cells look under a microscope and how much of the tissue or organ is affected.

What is the ICd 10 code for atypical squamous cells?

R87.610 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance on cytologic smear of cervix (asc-us). The code R87.610 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code R87.610 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like abnormal cervical papanicolaou smear or atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance on cervical papanicolaou smear.#N#The code R87.610 is applicable to female patients only. It is clinically and virtually impossible to use this code on a non-female patient.#N#The code is commonly used in ob/gyn medical specialties to specify clinical concepts such as abnormal female genital cytology.
