Favour a nested melanoma in situ (Dr Heinz Kutzner presented similar cases of this on the extremities in the elderly - I think they worked them up with FISH etc. but they can be confused with benign nested lesions).

Agree. Nested melanoma of  the elderly ( Not sure if it's an "in situ lesion"...see img4-right ).
