Very difficult !!! Could it be Spitzoid lesion for further work up as in this age it is not easy to go with a diagnosis of Spitz nevus. Epithelioid shwannoma is a good possibility but my perception of shwannomas is that they r capsulated lesions?

?Epithelioid benign fibrous histiocytoma. As far as I know, epithelioid schwannoma is a very rare lesion with less than 50 cases reported.

Well, let's try again! Intradermal melanocytic nevus with halo type reaction.

According to Guido Massi and Philip LeBoit in their excellent book about melanocytic pathology, as a rule, halo nevi do not occur on extremities.
The microscopic picture of Spitz-like epithelioid cells with ground glass cytoplasm accompanied by a lymphocytic infiltrate suggests me solitary reticulohistiocytoma.

Quite difficult. Cannot make a firm choice. The confluent pattern and the scattered larger cells might suggest Bapoma, and a work up including assay for the Bap1 loss (Wiesner nevus) [font=Helvetica][size=1] [/size][/font]might be worth in a case like this, of course in addition to the stains entailed by the broader differential above.

There was loss of BAP1, so this is a Wiesner nevus. Only a few cells were Ki67 positive (using a double pan-melanocytic marker + Ki67 stain).

I advised complete excision and indicated the associations of Wiesner nevus in my diagnostic comment.
