Intra-epithelial Neoplasia in the Anal Canal and Peri-anal Area

  • Chapter
Gastrointestinal Pathology

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Pathology ((CT PATHOLOGY,volume 81))

Abstract

Intra-epithelial neoplasia in the anal canal and peri-anal area has been the subject of considerable interest in recent years and the number of cases reported is increasing. Much evidence has linked anal and genital neoplasia to venereal infections, particularly human papilloma virus (HPV), and a few cases of squamous carcinoma have been reported among patients with AIDS. Symptoms may be vague or absent and the diagnosis therefore rests on careful pathological examination.
