Agree. Since the dermis appears to be completely involved by this palisading granulomatous process (no uninnolved dermis at all) and the process seems to be in layers, I would throw in necrobiosis lipoidica in the differential diagnosis. GA rarely involves the whole dermis, usually there are relatively uninvolved spots in the dermis.

Leaning toward interstitial GA and fits better with hand lesion.  However, NLD in differential and would speak to clinician.
