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.

'''Anal intraepithelial neoplasia''', abbreviated '''AIN''', is an older term that is still used.<ref name=pmid26274593>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Dietrich | first1 = A. | last2 = Hermans | first2 = C. | last3 = Heppt | first3 = MV. | last4 = Ruzicka | first4 = T. | last5 = Schauber | first5 = J. | last6 = Reinholz | first6 = M. | title = Human papillomavirus status, anal cytology and histopathological outcome in HIV-positive patients. | journal = J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol | volume = 29 | issue = 10 | pages = 2011-8 | month = Oct | year = 2015 | doi = 10.1111/jdv.13205 | PMID = 26274593 }}</ref>
 
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.
**Strong association with [[HIV]] infection.<ref name=pmid26274593/>

===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><ref name=pmid26688291>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Burgos | first1 = J. | last2 = Curran | first2 = A. | last3 = Landolfi | first3 = S. | last4 = Navarro | first4 = J. | last5 = Tallada | first5 = N. | last6 = Guelar | first6 = A. | last7 = Crespo | first7 = M. | last8 = Ocaña | first8 = I. | last9 = Ribera | first9 = E. | title = The effectiveness of electrocautery ablation for the treatment of high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia in HIV-infected men who have sex with men. | journal = HIV Med | volume =  | issue =  | pages =  | month = Dec | year = 2015 | doi = 10.1111/hiv.12352 | PMID = 26688291 }}</ref>

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.

===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).
