This is a benign neoplasm without doubt. I think Vincenzo s suggestion of angiolyomioma is a good one but I would still perform IHQ techniques (ck, EMA, desmin, SMA, s-100, CD34) I think on morphology alone we cannot rule out perineurioma and ancient scwhannoma. Some onion bulb sclerotic areas make me think hardly on perineuroma

Especially in areas with a pale edematous background I think there is a great resemblance to smooth muscle. I also think this is angioleiomyoma.

Does look like an angioleiomyoma. Epithelioid perineurioma also crossed my mind. Like Raul has suggested an IHC panel is definitely needed!

Angioleiomyoma vs myopericytoma. (Prominent concentric perivascular arrangement)

Both entities probably belong to the same spectrum as overlapping histological features. SMA and H-caldesmom  positive in both, but desmin usually +ve in angioleiomyoma and negative in myopericytoma.

Angioleiomyoma. Desmin, s100 and EMA were all negative. Great discussion!
