Penile intraepithelial neoplasia, abbreviated PeIN, is the precursor of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
Penile intraepithelial neoplasia | |
---|---|
Diagnosis in short | |
Penile intraepithelial neoplasia (undifferentiated subtype). H&E stain. | |
Subtypes | differentiated PeIN, undifferentiated PeIN |
LM DDx | squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, squamous hyperplasia |
IHC | p16 +ve (uPeIN) -ve (dPeIN), p53 -ve (uPeIN) +ve (dPeIN) |
Site | penectomy grossing |
| |
Associated Dx | HPV infection (undifferentiated PeIN), lichen sclerosus or BXO (differentiated PeIN) |
Prevalence | uncommon |
Prognosis | good |
Clin. DDx | squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, lichen sclerosis, phimosis |
It may be abbreviated PIN;[1] however, this can cause confusion with the prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (the presursor of prostate carcinoma).
General
- Not very common overall.
- Typically seen adjacent to squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
Microscopic
Subclassified as:[2]
- Undifferentiated PeIN (uPeIN).
- Differentiated PeIN (dPeIN).
Note:
- Subclassification similar to one for vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia, that is based on the role of HPV in the pathogenesis.
Undifferentiated penile intraepithelial neoplasia
Features:
- Increased NC ratio.
- Multinucleation.
- Lack of maturation to surface - not that useful.
- May have "vertical streaming" - the long axis of the cells are perpendicular to the free surface & basement membrane.
- Apical mitoses.
DDx:
Differentiated penile intraepithelial neoplasia
Features:
- Thickening of the stratum spinosum (acanthosis).
- Elongation of rete ridges with bridging/anastomoses between rete ridges.
- Nuclear atypia - esp. of the basal layer.
- Nuclei in stratum corneum (parakeratosis).
- +/-Atypical mitoses.

IHC
- p16 -ve in dPeIN,[3] +ve in uPeIN.
