No!: Squamous cells are normal cells of the covering of the bladder and of the external and internal genital organs and are normally seen in the urine. Atypical cells can be found in urine cytology as a possible sign of bladder cancer to be followed by cystoscopy to be sure of the diagnosis.

Not cancer: Squamous cells in a urinalysis is usually a sign of contamination of the collection (i.e. The cup touched your skin). Squamous cells do not line the urinary tract - they are urothelial cells, also known as transitional cells all the way from the kidney to the urethra (except the last short segment in men).
