Myxoid nerve sheath tumour, either a nerve sheath myxoma or a microcystic/reticular schwannoma.

Another possibility is reticular perineurioma. My choice is nerve sheath myxoma. EMA, S100 and GFAP immunostaisns will be very important to arrive at the correct diagnosis.

First impression: nerve sheath myxoma. The nature of the given immunostain is not mentioned.

Having looked through Zsolt Argenyi's book, Cutaneous Neural Neoplasms, there are photographs of a tumour (pages 66 and 67) which is not that dissimilar to this tumour and which he calls "pseudoglandular schwannoma". Reticular perineurioma is, indeed, a possibility; but I do not think EMA would stain as strongly as does in the last photograph (which I presume is S100), as ordinary perineuriomas stain weakly and unevenly with EMA.

Nerve sheath myxoma. The stain is s100. Ema is negative and GFAP was not done.
