Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the technique of radical excision of multifocal anal intraepithelial neoplasia and discuss controversial issues surrounding the management of this condition. We describe the case of a 31-year-old female with previous vulval warts, vulval squamous carcinoma, and recent immunosuppression who had widespread anal intraepithelial neoplasia excised, and the resulting defect was split-skin grafted, including the anal canal. Excision and split-skin grafting was successful in removing the disease and left a satisfactory cosmetic and functional result. Diffuse, high-grade, anal intraepithelial neoplasia is rare. Excision of these lesions remains controversial but may be the best option.Keywords
