The anus occasionally shows-up on the pathologists desk. It sometimes comes with the rectum and colon, as an abdominoperoneal resection (APR).

Anal neoplasia

Immunosuppressed individuals and homosexuals have a higher risk of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) and anal cancer.[1][2]

Anal intraepithelial neoplasia

  • Abbreviated AIN.

General

  • Precursor lesion of anal cancer.
  • Usually HPV associated.

Grading

AIN is graded much like cervical intraepithelial neoplasia:

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

Anal cancer

Anal gland adenocarcinoma

  • AKA anal adenocarcinoma.

General

  • Rare.

Risk factors:[3]

Microscopic

Features:[4]

  • Adenocarcinoma within the anal wall but not within the mucosa, i.e. extramucosal and intramural.
    • The Tumour lies beneath the squamous mucosa.

IHC

Features:[4]

  • CK7 +ve.
  • CK20 -ve.
  • CDX2 -ve.
  • p63 -ve.
  • PSA -ve.

Benign disease

Hidradenoma papilliferum

See Hidradenoma papilliferum.

Hemorrhoids

General

  • Benign.

Clinical features:[5]

  • Bright red blood per rectum (BRBPR).
  • Pain.
  • Itching.
  • Prolapse.

Gross

Features:[6]

  • Grey mucosa.
  • Pale or purple stroma.

Microscopic

Features:[6]

  • Polypoid lesion - epithelium on three sides:
    • Large dilated veins and thick-walled vessels +/- fibrin thrombi - key feature.
    • Edema.
    • Squamous epithelium +/- keratinization or columnar epithelium.
