Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia
Key Concepts
- Anal intraepithelial neoplasia is a dysplastic condition and is considered to be a premalignant stage of anal cancer.
- Its histologic and cellular findings mirror cervical dysplasia.
- Anal cytology is a useful tool to identify anal neoplasia in high-risk groups.
- When anal cytology is concerning, high-resolution anoscopy with targeted ablation of dysplasia is indicated.
- Treatment should be individualized according to the degree of dysplasia, risk factors, immune status, symptoms, and the likelihood of progression.
