*The dentate line (also known as the ''pectinate line'') divides the anal canal into upper two thirds and lower one third.
*Typically, the squamocolumnar junction is just above the dentate line.
Note:

Features:<ref name=Ref_GLP401>{{Ref GLP|401}}</ref>
The sections show skin with acanthosis, hypergranulosis, compact hyperkeratosis and focal full thickness loss of the epidermis, associated with a mixed inflammatory infiltrate. The dermis has reactive fibroblasts with moderate grey cytoplasm, nuclear enlargement and round small nucleoli. The fibroblast nuclei have regular nuclear membranes and a bland chromatin pattern. Clusters of neutrophils are present. There is no epidermal nuclear atypia. Mitotic activity is seen focally. No atypical mitotic figures are apparent. The inflammation extends to the deep aspect of the specimen.
