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

==Hidradenoma papilliferum==
====Micro====
:See ''[[Hidradenoma papilliferum]]''.
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.

The sections show rectal and anal mucosa, and a submucosa with prominent blood vessels in a fibrotic stroma. The rectal mucosa has focal reactive nuclear changes and evidence of prior erosions. The anal mucosa is unremarkable.

====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).
