Abnormal epithelial cells can indicate various conditions or diseases, including inflammation, infection, precancerous or cancerous changes, or other cellular abnormalities. It is important to further investigate abnormal epithelial cells to determine the underlying cause and determine appropriate treatment, if necessary. Abnormalities in epithelial cells can be detected through microscopic examination of a tissue sample (biopsy) or through specialized tests such as Pap smear or cytology. Early detection and treatment of abnormal epithelial cells can help prevent progression to more serious conditions such as cancer.
