Having seen the CD34 I go with my first impression diagnosis of inverted follicular keratosis.

In the absence of CD34 positivity I think inverted folicular keratosis is a better choice.

Negative CD34 favours IFK... It crossed my mind first but the clear cell changes deceived me :-((

Agree with you Mark, if CD34 is positive I call lesions like this tricholemmoma if not I call IFK although I had favoured latter on H&E in this particular case (minimal palisade and lack of significant BM thickening). Whether this is morphological mimicry or differences at the molecular level remains to be seen.
