Proliferation of ramifying network of jagged vessels involving most of the dermis, acompanied by lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and extravasated erythrocytes.
It seems to me early plaque stage of Kaposi sarcoma, since spindle cells are discernible only around the proliferating vessels.

Kaposi's sarcoma.
Numerous plasma cells (some multinucleated), extravasated RBCs, granular hemosiderin pigment (best seen in right lower image, top-right corner), elevated proliferative activity, 'promontory sign' dissection around collagen bundles, and HHV-8 positivity with granular nuclear staining pattern.
