Anal squamous cell carcinoma
Diagnosis in short

Anal squamous cell carcinoma. H&E stain.
LM DDx anal intraepithelial neoplasia, poorly differentiated rectal adenocarcinoma, anal gland adenocarcinoma
IHC p16 +ve
Molecular HPV +ve
Site anus

Clinical history +/-men who have sex with men, +/-immunodeficiency or immunosuppression
Prevalence most common anal cancer, overall uncommon
Treatment surgical excision

Anal squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of anal cancer.[1]

It is also known as anal squamous carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the anus.

General

  • Most common form of anal cancer.[1]
  • Overall anal cancer uncommon.[1]
  • Strong association with HPV.[2]

Risk factors:[3]

  • Men who have sex with men.
  • Immunosuppressed.
  • HIV infection.

IHC

  • p16 +ve.[5]
  • CDX2 -ve/+ve.
  • PD-L1 +ve in ~40% of cases.[6]
    • PD-1 expressed in nearly 70% of tumours.[6]

- INVASIVE SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA.

Notes:

  • There is no CAP Cancer Protocol Template.
  • AJCC staging is based on size of the tumour.[7]
