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

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

  • Usually squamous cell carcinoma.

Hidradenoma papilliferum

See Hidradenoma papilliferum.
