Penile intraepithelial neoplasia, abbreviated PeIN, is the precursor of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.

| Diagnosis in short | |

| Subtypes | differentiated PeIN, classic PeIN |
| LM DDx | squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, squamous hyperplasia |
| IHC | p16 +ve (classic PeIN) -ve (dPeIN), p53 -ve (classic PeIN) +ve (dPeIN) |
| Site | penectomy grossing |

| Associated Dx | HPV infection (classic PeIN), lichen sclerosus or BXO (differentiated PeIN) |
| Prevalence | uncommon |
| Prognosis | good |
| Clin. DDx | squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, lichen sclerosis, phimosis |
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.
DDx:
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
- Squamous hyperplasia (differentiated PeIN).
- Lichen sclerosus (differentiated PeIN).
Subclassification
Subclassified based on the role of HPV,[2] as in vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia:
- Conventional PeIN (cPeIN).
- Differentiated PeIN (dPeIN).
