Agree with VIN 2-3.
You can do mucin stain to exclude extramammary Paget's disease, and do melanoma markers to exclude melanoma in-situ.
VIN is a little different from CIN: VIN occurs in skin, could be caused by HPV infection and non-HPV infection (for example p53 mutation), CIN is caused by HPV. Especially in older women, there is a type of high grade VIN (differentiated VIN) is not caused by HPV.
The term Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) refers to particular changes that can occur in the skin that covers the vulva. VIN is not cancer, and in some women it disappears without treatment. If the changes become more severe, there is a chance that cancer might develop after many years, and so it is referred to as a precancerous condition.
ISSVD Classification
Medically speaking, the term denotes a squamous intraepithelial lesion of the vulva that shows dysplasia with varying degrees of atypia. The epithelial basement membrane is intact and the lesion is thus not invasive but has invasive potential.
The terminology of VIN evolved over several decades. In 1989[2] the Committee on Terminology, International Society for the Study of Vulvar Disease (ISSVD) replaced older terminology such as vulvar dystrophy, Bowen's disease, and Kraurosis vulvae by a new classification system for Epithelial Vulvar Disease:
Nonneoplastic epithelial disorders of vulva and mucosa:
Lichen sclerosus
Squamous hyperplasia
Other dermatoses
Mixed neoplastic and nonneoplastic disorders
Intraepithelial neoplasia
Squamous vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN)
VIN I, mildest form
VIN II, intermediate
VIN III, most severe form including carcinoma in situ of the vulva
Non-squamous intraepithelial neoplasia
Extramammary Paget's disease
Tumors of melanocytes, non invasive
Invasive disease (vulvar carcinoma)
Diagnosis
The patient may have no symptoms, or local symptomatology including itching, burning, and pain. The diagnosis is always based on a careful inspection and a targeted biopsy.
Treatment
The treatment of VIN is local to wide excision, in case of very extensive involvement or recurrency even a simple vulvectomy. Laser therapy has also been useful for VIN.
