The anus occasionally shows-up on the pathologists desk. It sometimes comes with the rectum and colon, as an abdominoperoneal resection (APR).
Anal neoplasia
Immunosuppressed individuals and homosexuals have a higher risk of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) and anal cancer.[1][2]
Anal intraepithelial neoplasia
- Abbreviated AIN.
General
- Precursor lesion of anal cancer.
- Usually HPV associated.
Grading
AIN is graded much like cervical intraepithelial neoplasia:
- High-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (HGAIN).
- Low-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (LGAIN).
Anal cancer
- Squamous cell carcinoma - most common.
- Malignant melanoma.
- Adenocarcinoma from the rectum.
Hidradenoma papilliferum
