The article deals with '''anal intraepithelial lesions''', abbreviated '''AILs'''. They are now classified as either low grade or high grade, as in the uterine cervix.

In the past the term '''anal intraepithelial neoplasia''', abbreviated '''AIN''' was used.  This is still used frequently.
 
Regardless of the name, they are considered to be the precursor of [[anal squamous cell carcinoma]].
 
==General==
*Precursor lesion of [[anal squamous cell carcinoma]].
*Usually [[HPV]] associated.
**May be prevented by HPV vaccine.
 
==Microscopic==
DDx:
*[[Anal squamous cell carcinoma]].
 
===Grading===
AIN is graded much like [[cervix|cervical intraepithelial neoplasia]]:<ref name=pmid25938361>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Roberts | first1 = JM. | last2 = Jin | first2 = F. | last3 = Thurloe | first3 = JK. | last4 = Biro | first4 = C. | last5 = Poynten | first5 = IM. | last6 = Tabrizi | first6 = SN. | last7 = Fairley | first7 = CK. | last8 = Templeton | first8 = DJ. | last9 = Carr | first9 = AD. | title = High reproducibility of histological diagnosis of human papillomavirus-related intraepithelial lesions of the anal canal. | journal = Pathology | volume = 47 | issue = 4 | pages = 308-13 | month = Jun | year = 2015 | doi = 10.1097/PAT.0000000000000246 | PMID = 25938361 }}</ref>

===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).
