{{Main|Differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia}}
===General===
Epidemiology:
*Associated with [[lichen sclerosus]].
*Seen in older women.

*Thickening of the stratum spinosum ([[acanthosis]]).
*Elongation of rete ridges with bridging/anastomoses between rete ridges.
*Nuclear atypia - esp. basal layer.
*Nuclei in stratum corneum (parakeratosis).
*+/-Atypical mitoses.
 
Notes:
*'''Not''' graded like classic VIN.
*Mnemonic ''BAD LAP'': '''b'''asal cell atypia, '''a'''nastomosing rete ridges (bridging), '''d'''VIN, '''l'''ichen sclerosus, '''a'''canthosis, '''p'''arakeratosis.
 
DDx:
*[[Lichen sclerosus]].
*[[Lichen simplex chronicus]] (squamous hyperplasia).

===IHC===
*Differentiated VIN: p16 -ve, p53 +ve.<ref name=pmid20062014/>
*Classic VIN: p16 +ve, p53 -ve.
 
Note:
*p16 can be thought of as a poor man's [[HPV]] test.
