A-typical cells like said before, and if you're asking because your worried, don't be until you get further info. My mom, my sister and I get our yearly pap smears and they always come back abnormal.that can mean problems, but every year we go to a specialist for a second pap, and although its still abnormal, its not cancerous and its nothing to worry about. So, don't get too worried until you know more.
