The field of dermatology and syphilology has relied on diagnostic laboratory and pathology tools to aid in the clinician in care of the patient for the better part of two centuries. The purpose of the diagnostics in dermatology column is to highlight commonly encountered diagnostic tools in dermatology and review the indications for use and result interpretation. This article discusses the anal Pap smear, a useful and cost-effective tool to screen for anal intraepithelial neoplasia in at-risk groups.
