Penile intraepithelial neoplasia
Penile intraepithelial neoplasia, abbreviated PeIN, is the precursor of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
It may be abbreviated PIN;[1] however, this can cause confusion with the prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (the presursor of prostate carcinoma).
General
- Not very common overall.
- Typically seen adjacent to squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
Microscopic
See vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia.

Subclassification
Subclassified based on the role of HPV,[2] as in vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia:
- Conventional PeIN (cPeIN).
- Differentiated PeIN (dPeIN).
IHC
- p16 -ve in dPeIN,[3] +ve in cPeIN.
