Differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia, abbreviated dVIN, is a pre-neoplastic pathology of the vulva typically arising in the context of lichen sclerosus.

It is also known as VIN simplex.[1]

General

Epidemiology:

Note:

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Thickening of the stratum spinosum (acanthosis).
  • Elongation of rete ridges with bridging/anastomoses between rete ridges.
  • Nuclear atypia - esp. basal layer.
  • Nuclei in stratum corneum (parakeratosis).
  • +/-Atypical mitoses.

Notes:

  • Not graded like classic VIN.
  • Mnemonic BAD LAP: basal cell atypia, anastomosing rete ridges (bridging), dVIN, lichen sclerosus, acanthosis, parakeratosis.

  • Differentiated VIN: p16 -ve, p53 +ve.[4]
  • Classic VIN: p16 +ve, p53 -ve.

Note:

  • p16 can be thought of as a poor man's HPV test.
