Squamous intraepithelial neoplasia of the esophagus is a precancerous condition that involves abnormal changes in the cells lining the esophagus. The esophagus is the muscular tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. “Squamous” refers to the type of cells affected, which are flat cells normally lining the inner surface of the esophagus. …

Keratinizing dysplasia is a precancerous condition marked by an abnormal growth pattern in squamous cells. These cells are found on external and internal body surfaces such as the skin, mouth, throat, and cervix. Dysplasia means the cells look abnormal under the microscope and are not maturing or developing normally. In keratinizing dysplasia, these abnormal squamous …

Low grade squamous dysplasia of the esophagus is a precancerous condition in which the cells lining the inside of the esophagus show abnormal growth. These cells are called squamous cells, and they normally form a thin, protective layer called the squamous epithelium. In low grade squamous dysplasia, the squamous cells begin to grow and look …

HPV associated dysplasia of the larynx is a precancerous condition in which the squamous cells that cover the inside surface of the larynx begin to show abnormal growth due to infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). If not treated effectively, this condition can progress to a type of laryngeal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. This …

What is vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia? Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) is a precancerous growth arising from the cells on the surface of the vulva. If left untreated, VIN can turn into a type of vulvar cancer called squamous cell carcinoma over time. Another name for VIN is squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL). Where does vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia …

Low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) in the anal canal and anus is an abnormal growth caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). The abnormal growth seen in LSIL is an example of dysplasia. Although the overall risk is low, LSIL is considered a precancerous condition because it can turn into a type of anal cancer …

Anal intraepithelial neoplasia is a condition that affects the cells lining the anus. It is considered a precancerous disease, which means that while the cells show abnormal changes, they are not yet cancer. However, in some cases, these abnormal cells can develop into a type of cancer called squamous cell carcinoma over time. The risk …
