The article deals with anal intraepithelial neoplasia, abbreviated AIN.

AIN is now usually classified as either low grade or high grade, as in the uterine cervix.[1] AIN is considered to be the precursor of anal squamous cell carcinoma.

Anal intraepithelial lesions and anal intraepithelial lesion redirect here.

Grading

AIN is graded much like cervical intraepithelial neoplasia:[2][3]

  • High-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (HGAIN).
  • Low-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (LGAIN).

Sign out

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.

Block letters

ANAL CANAL, RIGHT UPPER QUADRANT, BIOPSY:
- LOW-GRADE SQUAMOUS INTRAEPITHELIAL LESION (CONDYLOMA ACUMINATUM-LIKE).
ANAL CANAL, LEFT UPPER QUADRANT, BIOPSY:
- LOW-GRADE SQUAMOUS INTRAEPITHELIAL LESION.
- RECTAL MUCOSA WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
SKIN LESION, PERIANAL, BIOPSY: 
- ANAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA 3 (SEVERE DYSPLASIA), WARTY-TYPE.
- MARGIN POSITIVE FOR ANAL INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA 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).
