Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) in the anogenital region is fundamentally classified according to its primary location. These are the main classification categories based on the site of origin:
-
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Penis
- Verrucous Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Penis
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Scrotum
-
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva
- Verrucous Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva

Precursor Lesions: Squamous Cell Carcinoma In Situ
When Squamous Cell Carcinoma In Situ is related to a Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, it is called high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Specific types of HSIL include:
- Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PIN)
- Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia (VIN)
- Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia (VAIN)
- Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia (AIN)
