=====Micro=====
The sections show a small piece of squamous mucosa with mild hypergranulosis and a compact keratin layer. The epithelial component is not significantly thickened but contains rare intraepithelial lymphocytes and has minimal edema. The subepithelial tissue has rare scattered lymphocytes and a mild prominence of small blood vessels. No subepithelial fibrosis is appreciated. The epithelium has no atypia. No mitotic figures are readily apparent.

====Micro====
The sections show a polypoid fragment of skin with epithelium on three sides, acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. Koilocytic changes (mild nuclear enlargement, perinuclear clearing) are seen focally. There is mild basilar nuclear enlargement and hyperchromasia.  The epithelium matures to the surface and a granular layer is present.
 
=====Seborrheic keratosis-like=====
The sections show skin with acanthosis with papillomatous features (round bulbous rete ridges, acanthosis with penetrating fibrovascular cores) pseudohorn cysts, parakeratosis and hyperkeratosis.  There is no significant basal nuclear atypia. There are no mitoses and no melanocytic nests. There is mild dermal inflammation. There is no solar elastosis. Pigment incontinence is present focally.

{{Main|Classic vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia}}
Epidemiology:
*Classic VIN, like CIN, is associated with [[HPV]] and seen in younger women.
*May be multifocal, i.e. associated with cervical ([[CIN]]) or vaginal ([[VAIN]]) lesions;<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Pai | first1 = K. | last2 = Pai | first2 = S. | last3 = Gupta | first3 = A. | last4 = Rao | first4 = P. | last5 = Renjhen | first5 = P. | title = Synchronous vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) of warty type and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN): case report. | journal = Indian J Pathol Microbiol | volume = 49 | issue = 4 | pages = 585-7 | month = Oct | year = 2006 | doi =  | PMID = 17183865 }}</ref> multifocality has a strongly association with immunosuppression.<ref name=pmid16713062>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Ait Menguellet | first1 = S. | last2 = Collinet | first2 = P. | last3 = Houfflin Debarge | first3 = V. | last4 = Nayama | first4 = M. | last5 = Vinatier | first5 = D. | last6 = Leroy | first6 = JL. | title = Management of multicentric lesions of the lower genital tract. | journal = Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol | volume = 132 | issue = 1 | pages = 116-20 | month = May | year = 2007 | doi = 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2006.04.011 | PMID = 16713062 }}</ref>
 
Classic VIN is graded like cervical pre-cancerous lesions:

===Microscopic===
Features:
*Increased [[NC ratio]].
*Multinucleation.
*Lack of maturation to surface (not very useful -- unlike in the cervix).<ref>LAE. February 2009.</ref>
**May have "vertical streaming" - the long axis of the cells are perpendicular to the free surface & basement membrane.
*Apical mitoses.
