Ulcerated skin with granulomatous inflammation - need to exclude infection!

I would be worried about a malignancy here as well. Some of the features resemble a basal cell carcinoma.

Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia of epidermis with central ulcer and lymphocytes, plasma cells and eosinophils in the dermal infiltrate suggest conditions like leishmaniasis, deep fungal infection or atypical mycobacterial infection

Dr Carr bowls either an unplayable bouncer or a deceiving googly!--:)

Hi All. Yes I have had another look and see why malignancy is considered! Images 4 onward show increase cellularity and mitoses. Is the lesion vaso-formative ?

For me it looks more like SCC but I agree some areas are more basaloid

Yes it's a googly that bowled out the original reporting pathologist too. IHC should be posted soon I hope.

Looks like everything I could say has already been said. Waiting to see the degree of deception!

My report: BCC with pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia.  Focally infiltrative. I have a very high threshold for BCC with "malignant squamous component" no more than 1% of BCC in my reporting generally.
