followed by reconstruction for perianal Paget’s
disease, a number of non-invasive treatments,
such as topical imiquimod, radiotherapy, and
photodynamic therapy, have been utilized with
varying degrees of success [84–89]. Nonetheless,
surgical excision remains the treatment of choice,
when feasible; chemoradiotherapy has a role in
the presence of concomitant anorectal adenocarcinoma and may also be used in conjunction with
surgical excision when invasive perianal Paget’s
disease is present.
High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion
High-grade squamous intraepithial lesion (HSIL)
is a non-keratinizing intraepithelial squamous
cell carcinoma rst described by John Bowen in
1912 [90], and rst reported in the perianal region
by Vickers in 1939 [91]. Previously referred to as
perianal Bowen’s disease, HSIL is often considered in some ways to be analogous to HPVmediated AIN, though the two entities have very
different clinical characteristics. While HSIL is
more common in females in the fth decade of
life, AIN is more commonly seen in males, especially those with HIV infection and an immunocompromised state. The natural history of HSIL
is generally benign, with less than 5% progressing to invasive carcinoma [92]; the risk of AIN
progressing to invasive cancer is still being
dened, but it is generally accepted as being
much higher than this.
As with perianal Paget’s disease, perianal
HSIL typically presents with non-specic complaints, such as anal itching, burning, seepage,
and pain with defecation. Up to 30% may present
with a palpable mass lesion [93]. Physical examination reveals raised, irregular, scaly, brownishred plaques with eczematoid features (Fig.19.8).
The plaques may have a “crust” or may weep
serous uid. Clinically, HSIL is often mistaken
for other dermatologic conditions, such as leukoplakia, eczema, psoriasis, and Paget’s disease.
Suspicious lesions should be biopsied in a
full-thickness fashion; this can often be done in
the ofce setting using a punch biopsy.
B. R. Kann
Fig. 19.8 High-grade squamous intraepitheal lesion
(Perianal Bowen’s disease)
Histologically, HSIL demonstrates disordered
epidermal hyperplasia with parakeratosis and
hyperkeratosis in the supercial surface layers,
and mitotic gures in all layers (Fig. 19.9).
“Bowenoid” cells, large atypical cells with haloed
large hyperchromatic nuclei, are typically
present.
Unlike Paget’s disease, the presence of other
concomitant malignancies or progression of the
index lesion to malignancy is quite rare in the
setting of perianal HSIL.The standard of care is
wide surgical excision. Because microscopic
disease often extends beyond grossly visible
disease, a systematic 4-quadrant biopsy
technique, including intra-anal biopsies, to map
the extent of disease has previously been
advocated [94, 95]. However, as is the case with
perianal Paget’s disease, given the low risk of
progression to invasive cancer, high rates of postoperative recurrence, large skin defects requiring
advancement aps, and potential functional
issues, the utility of this has come into question.
Outcomes data is limited to small retrospective
series and case reports, given the rarity of perianal
HSIL.Beck etal. reported a series of 33 patients
from the Cleveland Clinic, 27 of whom were
managed with wide local excision or simple
excision; only 1 patient developed a new invasive
skin cancer during a mean follow-up of 3.7years
[94]. A later series from the same institution found
local recurrence rates to be 23.1% after wide local
excision, 53.3% after simple local excision, and
80% after CO
vaporization; recurrence rates
2
estimated by Kaplan–Meier analysis were

lesion (Perianal Bowen’s
disease)
341
signicantly lower comparing radically treated
patients (abdominoperineal resection and wide
local excision) and conservatively treated patients
(simple excision and vaporization). Three of 47
patients developed an invasive cancer in the
post-op period—all had been initially treated
conservatively. The median time to recurrence
was 38.5months after conservative treatment and
41.5months after radical treatment, highlighting
the need for long-term follow-up [95].
Sarmiento et al also reported a 31% 5-year
recurrence rate for patients with perianal HSIL
managed with local excision; all but 1 recurrence
was managed with wider local excision. Fiveyear survival was 75%, lower than an agematched population, though only 1 death was
attributable to HSIL [96]. In contrast,
Margenthaler et al found a much lower recurrence rate in a series of 25 patients with perianal
HSIL.Twenty-three patients in this report underwent wide local excision, 19 of which underwent
formal mapping. Only three recurrences were
seen, 2 of which had positive margins after wide
local excision (one with mapping) and the third
of which had clear margins after mapping [93].
When wide surgical excision is not feasible or
refused by the patient, other treatment options
exist. Topical 5-uorouracil (5-FU) has been
reported as an effective means of managing perineal HSIL. Graham etal reported a series of 11
patients, 8 of which were treated with topical
5-FU (5%) for 16weeks. One patient required 8
additional weeks for incomplete resolution, but
one year after completion of therapy, all but 1
patient, who was HIV positive, were free of HSIL
[97]; others have reported similar experiences
[98]. The use of radiotherapy and photodynamic
therapy has also been reported to produce favorable results. This subject is discussed in greater
detail in Chap. 20.
Anal Margin Squamous Cell Cancer
The anal margin extends from the junction of
non-hair-bearing and hair-bearing squamous epithelium outwards onto the perianal skin for a distance of 5-cm. Squamous cell cancers of this
region exhibit behavior similar to other cutaneous squamous cell cancer, draining into regional
lymph node basins. They typically present
between the ages of 65 and 75.
Diagnosis is often delayed due to mistaking
lesions for hemorrhoidal disease. Symptoms
include a painful perianal mass, bleeding, pruritis,
and drainage/discharge. Suspicious lesions should
be biopsied, and a CT of the chest, abdomen, and
pelvis should be performed to exclude metastatic
disease. Staging is similar to that of anal canal
squamous cell cancer. Careful palpation of the
inguinal lymph nodes should be done to evaluate
for nodal extension. While the risk of nodal

342
involvement is low with T1 lesions, up to 24% of
T2 lesions and 67% of T3 lesions will have nodal
metastases at the time of diagnosis [99].
In addition to tumor staging, the involvement
and proximity of the anal sphincter to the site of
the tumor is essential in guiding management.
Treatment for smaller (T1, T2) lesions without
nodal metastasis is surgical excision with a 1cm
margin, if possible without compromising
sphincter function. Wound closure may necessitate a rotational or pedicle skin ap. Surgical
excision of larger lesions may result in a signicant soft tissue defect or necessitate excision of a
portion of the sphincter complex to achieve negative margins. Management of these larger lesions
that closely oppose the sphincter complex, as
well as those with metastatic lymph node involvement, should be with CMT, given in a similar
manner as for anal canal squamous cell cancer.
B. R. Kann
Anal Margin Basal Cell Cancer
Basal cell cancers of the anal margin are rare,
accounting for 0.2% of anorectal neoplasms and
0.27% of all cutaneous basal cell cancers [11].
They more frequently are seen in men, and typically occur in the sixth decade of life. They are
frequently associated with other skin lesions, and
the diagnosis of an anal basal cell cancer should
trigger a thorough dermatologic examination.
Anal basal cell cancers appear similar to other
cutaneous basal cell cancers, typically as a mass
with central ulceration and a raised pearly border
(Fig. 19.10). Complaints are non-specic and
may include bleeding, pain with sitting, and pruritis. These lesions tend to be very slow growing
and very rarely metastasize. Treatment is usually
via wide local excision, if feasible without compromising sphincter function. Skin grafting or
advancement aps may be necessary for wound
closure. In rare instances, APR may be necessary
to achieve negative margins. Positive surgical
margins are associated with a 29% local recurrence rate [100].
Paterson el al reported a series of 21 cases of
anal basal cell cancer; 33% had multiple basal
cell cancers at other sites. Most were treated with
local excision and there were no local recurrences
Fig. 19.10 Anal margin basal cell carcinoma
[101]. Gibson etal reported a series of 51 basal
cell cancers of the perianal and genital regions,
15 of which were classied as perianal; again, the
majority were treated with local excision [102].
The cancer-specic survival rate in both series
was 100%.
Conclusion
While neoplasms of the anal canal and anal
margin are relatively rare, a thorough knowledge of the variety of lesions seen in this
anatomic region is essential. Presenting
symptoms tend to be vague and non-specic;
a thorough history and physical exam and a
high index of suspicion are often necessary
to achieve an accurate diagnosis and institute appropriate treatment in a timely fashion.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal is
commonly seen in association HPV and HIV
infection, and is typically managed with combined modality chemoradiation with excellent
oncologic results, and reasonable functional
results. Less common malignancies of the
anal canal, including anal adenocarcinoma
and melanoma, have much poorer prognoses.

Squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas of
the anal margin can typically be managed with
local excision in the absence of metastatic
disease. Pre-malignant conditions of the anal
margin, including Paget’s disease and HSIL
are rare but should be included in the differ-
ential diagnosis of patients with complaints of
anal discomfort or itching that do not improve
with usual measures.

Anal Intraepitheial Neoplasia
AmyL.Lightner, CindyJ.Kin, andMarkL.Welton

Introduction
Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is an
uncommon malignancy caused by infection with
oncogenic strains of Human papilloma virus
(HPV). The precursor lesion, anal intraepithelial
neoplasia III (AIN III) or high-grade squamous
intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), is also caused by
infection with HPV [1–3]. Although these infections are extremely common with a peak incidence
in the third decade of life, they usually resolve
spontaneously by the end of the decade and without detectable virus in immunocompetent patients
[4, 5]. This tends not to be true in high risk
groups—those who practice anoreceptive intercourse and those immunocompromised from
drugs or disease. At particular risk are Human
immunodeciency virus (HIV)-infected men who
have sex with men as patients who are coinfected

with HIV and HPV tend to have higher levels of
HPV, and are more likely to have persistent HPV
infection [6–8].
Of particular concern are the specic oncogenic subtypes HPV 16 and 18, which have been
identied as precursors to cervical intraepithelial
neoplasia [9, 10] and anal intraepthithelial neoplasia (AIN) [11]. Although the frequency of progression of high grade AIN, or HSIL, is unknown, data
suggests the long term risk is in the range of 8.5–
13% [2, 3, 12]. Studies have estimated the incidence ranges between is 131 and 137 per 1000,000
men in HIV positive MSM, a population in which
the incidence of anal cancer is on the rise [13, 14].
Colorectal surgeons are often referred patients
with ‘pain down there’, and ‘bump down there’ or
the common diagnosis of hemorrhoids. Frequently,
on exam, there is no hemorrhoidal disease but rather
visible abnormal tissue. Thus, it is important to consider AIN, understand the treatment options and
their varying efcacy, and counsel patients regarding the need for ongoing surveillance. Additional
detailed information is offered in Chap. 19.
Nomenclature andAnatomy
The interchangeable use of AIN and LSIL and
HSIL can create confusion when communicating and reviewing the literature on this topic.

associated lesions of the lower anogenital tract

A. L. Lightner et al.
(cervix, vulva, anus, perianus, penis, etc), was
recently re-evaluated with consensus regarding nomenclature. A two-tiered nomenclature
with low-grade (LSIL) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) was recommended, with modifiers of AIN II and III
as needed [15]. LSIL corresponds to AIN I
and HSIL corresponds to AIN II and
III. Carcinoma in situ, Bowen’s disease, and
severe dysplasia are all equivalent to HSIL
and those terms should be abandoned. For the
purposes of this chapter, we will use LSIL and
HSIL throughout.
Before diagnosis and treatment patterns can
be articulated, one must have an accurate
depiction of the anatomy and consistent
nomenclature in order to communicate ndings among care providers. In fact, the lack of
clear understanding of the natural history of
HSIL, arguably based on a lack of consistent
anatomic terminology, has been erroneously
used as an argument for the non-treatment of
HSIL [2, 12]. Anal cancer is dened as a squa-
mous cell carcinoma that may not be seen at all
or in its entirety while gentle traction is placed
on the buttocks. In contrast, a perianal cancer
is a squamous cell carcinoma within 5cm of
the anus that is completely visualized while
gentle traction is placed on the buttocks
(Fig.20.1a, b). The term transformation zone
was borrowed from the gynecologic literature
to direct clinicians to a region 0–10cm above
the dentate line where squamous cell carcinomas may occur in the distal rectal mucosa. This
is a region of squamous metaplasia dynamically varying in extent over time. This immature mucosa is at particular risk for HPV
infection [16].
Clinicians are encouraged to denote the location of lesions, whether HSIL, LSIL or Squamous
cell carcinoma, in relation to standard landmarks—anterior/posterior/left/right—and anal or
perianal—rather than using a clock face and the
dentate line. If the clock face is used, 12 o’clock
must be dened because the position of the
patient moves the clock-face.

Prevention
HPV infection is etiologically associated with
90–96% of anal cancers [17, 18], with HPV 16
being the dominant strain, present in 65–89% of the
anal cancers [11, 17, 19], followed by HPV type 18.
With the development of vaccines that target HPV,
the potential to prevent HPV, and ultimately ASCC,
is a reality. The 9-valent HPV (9vHPV) vaccine
is the only HPV vaccine currently used in the
UnitedStates. Three HPV vaccines were licensed
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
by 2014: bivalent (2vHPV), quadrivalent (4vHPV),
and 9-valent HPV vaccines. Since late 2016, only
9-valent HPV vaccine is available for distribution
in the United States. The 9-valent HPV vaccine
protects against nine HPV types, including seven
types that can cause cancer [20, 21]. A planned
substudy of that trial analyzed the impact of the
HPV vaccine on the development of HSIL in 602
HIV negative MSM [22]. Although none of the 602
healthy men aged 16–26 developed ASCC within
the 3-year follow-up period, there were 5 cases of
grade HSIL in the vaccine arm and 24 cases in the
placebo arm. This is an observed efcacy of
77.5% for HSIL, which suggests the quadrivalent
HPV vaccine may reduce the risk of ASCC in this
patient population. In addition, the incidence of
persistent HPV infection decreased by 95%.
For patients who present with condyloma acuminatum or low-grade squamous intraepithelial
lesion (LSIL), it is important to note these patients
are not approached the same way as HSIL; both
condyloma and LSIL have very low potential for
malignancy [23]. There is no data to support the
direct progression of LSIL to HSIL or ASCC.Rather
LSIL appears to be a marker in certain at risk groups
for presence of HPV.Thus, those patients that are
symptomatic may have their lesions excised or
destroyed for symptomatic control, but not to prevent ASCC.Subsequent follow up of these patients
depends heavily on age, risk factors, underlying disease states, and sexual practice patterns.

Compared with cervical cancer, anal cancer is
rare. For the year 2016 SEER data for the
United States projects 12,990 women will be
diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4120 will
die of the disease while 8080 patients will be
diagnosed with anal cancer and 1080 will die
of the disease (https://seer.cancer.gov). Since
the introduction of the Papanicolaou (Pap)
testing, the incidence of cervical cancer has
decreased dramatically and the trend continues to be positive. This success with screening
has led to a template for screening for anal
cancer in high risk groups where overall the
trend is heading in a less favorable direction.
The highest risk group for the development of
anal cancer are MSM regardless of HIV status
[14], and among HIV positive MSM, the incidence of anal cancer is 42 to 131 per 100,000,
a rate higher than the 35 per 100,000 of cervical cancer prior to the introduction of the Pap
test [18]. This same population, have higher
rates of HPV and HSIL, both precursors to
ASCC; 72–92% of HIV positive MSM have
detectable HPV and 50% have biopsy proven
HSIL [23, 24]. Despite these statistics universal screening has yet to be adopted due to the
need for more widespread adoption of highresolution anoscopy (HRA), the need for randomized control trial proving the efficacy of
screening, and the lack of national screening
guidelines for anal cancer.
Diagnosis
A thorough history should be conducted including previous known HPV infections or other sexually transmitted diseases, sexual history
specically regarding anoreceptive intercourse,
HIV status and CD4 count, previous anal conditions, local symptoms, and smoking history.
HSIL is typically asymptotic. When symptomatic, patients may complain of local symptoms such as pruritis, bleeding, discharge,
irritation, and tenesmus. Physical exam should
include visual inspection of the perianal skin and
may reveal subtle changes on the skin or more
obvious raised wart-like plaques. Digital rectal
exam and either anoscopy or high resolution
anoscopy (HRA) should be performed as part of
the routine workup. Digital rectal exam may
reveal subtle mucosal/submucosal masses or
quite obvious masses. Anoscopy may conrm
