"Ask us what"?: ASCUS is a pap smear category that is an acronym for Atypical Cells of Undetermined Significance (ASCUS) I always called it, Ask us what? It is a category that means that the Pathologist that read it saw a few "unusual" cells that are not cancer or HPV but is doing a CYA note.( Cover your a--) Your pap is negative and you can be seen by ACOG guidelines in 3 years again if no bad previous pap test
