A squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) is a term that refers to abnormal growth of epithelial cells on the surface of the cervix commonly called squamous cells. This condition can lead to cervical cancer but can be diagnosed using a Pap smear or a colposcopy. It can be treated by using methods that remove the abnormal cells allowing normal cells to grow in their place.
