The article deals with anal intraepithelial neoplasia, abbreviated AIN.
AIN is now usually classified as either low grade or high grade, as in the uterine cervix.[1] AIN is considered to be the precursor of anal squamous cell carcinoma.
Anal intraepithelial lesion redirects here.
General
- Precursor lesion of anal squamous cell carcinoma.
- Usually HPV associated.
Microscopic
DDx:
Grading
AIN is graded much like cervical intraepithelial neoplasia:[2][3]
- High-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (HGAIN).
- Low-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (LGAIN).
Sign out
Anus (Submitted as "Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia"), Biopsy: - HIGH GRADE SQUAMOUS INTRAEPITHIAL LESION (HSIL) of the anus. - Benign colorectal type mucosa. Comment: The HSIL is in keeping with AIN 3.
Block letters
ANAL CANAL, RIGHT UPPER QUADRANT, BIOPSY: - LOW-GRADE SQUAMOUS INTRAEPITHELIAL LESION (CONDYLOMA ACUMINATUM-LIKE).
ANAL CANAL, LEFT UPPER QUADRANT, BIOPSY: - LOW-GRADE SQUAMOUS INTRAEPITHELIAL LESION. - RECTAL MUCOSA WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
SKIN LESION, PERIANAL, BIOPSY: - ANAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA 3 (SEVERE DYSPLASIA), WARTY-TYPE. - MARGIN POSITIVE FOR ANAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA 3.
Micro
There is dysplastic squamous epithelium with coarse chromatin, nuclear hyperchromasia, nuclear enlargement, irregular nuclear membranes, and an increase nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio. Mitotic activity is abundant. Several atypical mitoses are identified.
The dysplastic squamous epithelium shows minimal maturation toward the surface (AIN 3). A sizable portion of the lesion show some maturation to the surface (AIN 2).
Inflammation at the dermal-epidermal interface is minimal and the dermal-epidermal interface is well-demarcated. Focal ulceration is present.
The margin of the biopsy has severely dysplastic epithelium (AIN 3).
