Pap smear noted few koilocytes in my pap smear, what does it mean?

Depends: True koilocytes are associated with hpv infection and the presence of koliocytes could mean a dysplastic change to the lining cells of your cervix. However, mimics of koilocytic change can be caused by a variety of other entities. Further testing could be performed to clarify the significance of those cells if your ob-gyn feels it is warranted.

Suggest viral: Infection. Koilocytes are one of the effects of hpv infection. You may wish to discuss a test for hpv, with your doctor.
