Circumscribed tumor, predominantely spindle cells, some epithelioid cells, prominent pseudo-nuclear inclusions, a storiform pattern is perceived in many areas in addition to whorled arrangements also. There are myxoid foci aalso. The Immunos are not labelled !! Based on morphology, I am thinking of perineurioma. Guessing the Immunos are CD34 (first one) and EMA (second one)!!!

Agree completely with Mona, first thought is perineurioma with the vague whorling/storiform pattern.
Need to know the immunos.

My first thought, given the intranuclear inclusions, was of a melanocytic tumour, possibly a cellular blue naevus.

I see a very superficial lesion associated with some grade of epidermal hyperplasia. Collars of epithelia demarcate the lesion at lateral margins. Neoplastic cells are frequently epithelioid and have moderately abundant cytoplasm. Whorled arrangemens of cells around small vessels is seen in some areas. I think this is epithelioid cell dermatofibroma.

I like to keep you guys guessing :)
Yes, perineurioma (great job Mona!). 1st immuno is CD163, showing the tumor cells are negative. 2nd immuno is EMA, strongly positive. Melanocytic markers are negative.
