Even as a layman this looks interesting, have fun with Dr Hafeez Diwan's case.

Agree desmoplastic trichoepithelioma but quite extensive and I would like a combined stain to make sure there is no perineural infiltration.

Agree, desmoplastic TE. I believe one of the IHCs is CK20 highlighting reactive Merkel cells and the other is CD10 showing stromal condensation. I think, Richard had put one case on Dermpathpro giving a list of 20 points to distinguish between DTE and BCC. Somehow, I am not getting that case in the search.

Yes! Desmoplastic Trichoepithelioma. Well circumscribed in deep dermis, papillary mesenchymal bodies, thin strands and cords, absence of stroma cleft and mutinous changes, keratocysts and keratin granulomas fit well. Is last fig a CD34? And CEA  in fig5?

Agree with desmoplastic trichoepithelioma. I believe the immunostains are CK20 for Merkel cells and the second one CD34. Nice case.

I agree with all of you desmoplastic TE. This is the case you mention Nitin, a very useful one with a nice discussion

Columnar trichoblastoma (aka desmoplastic trichoepithelioma).

Dr. Carr have said here on more than one occasion that this is one of the most difficult diagnoses in Dermatopathology, so everyone is doing a good job!

Columnar trichoblastoma may feature perineural involvement. This peculiarity should be interpreted with caution and together with other findings to make the correct distinction from its malignant differential diagnoses.

agree with colleagues. IHC for CK20 ,CD10 and androgen receptor can help to confirm the diagnosis.

Agree.

As Nitin and Raul mentioned, Richard's 20 points in case 813 are very useful and I have kept a printout of it to remind me in problematic cases!

Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma.  Yes, the bottom left panel is CK20 and the bottom right is CD10.
