Agree.Some may consider pleomoephic fibrom , sclerotic fibrom and dermatofibroma are different spectrum of the same condition.

Sclerotic perineurioma for EMA is my first thought. Then would agree with the above differential if EMA comes negative.

Agree with Sclerotic fibroma.
- Clinical history of a solitary pink papule is a good fit.
- There is a "plywood" pattern of fascicular thick keloidal collagen bundles with prominent clefting artefact, sparse scattered oval to stellate cells (some with multinucleation), showing bland nuclear features; the latter finding helps differentiate this from the high-grade nuclear pleomorphism and atypia of a pleomorphic fibroma. The epidermis is attenuated, with absence of the psoriasiform acanthotic changes and/or basaloid features frequently seen in superficial dermatofibromas.
