A palisaded histiocytic granulomatous proliferation, with many neutrophils, nuclear dust and piecemeal basophilic collagen degradation, makes me think of a Palisaded Neutrophilic Granulomatous Dermatitis.

This is a dark grey pathological area for me, because  I haven't yet understood the clinical-pathological diff between PNGD and interstitial granulomatous dermatitis...

agree with Vincenzo. it is a pattern of PNGD, also called "Winkleman granuloma" (Cutaneous extravascular necrotizing granuloma). associated with RA and other systemic disorders.

You're probably all right! Basically this is an "immunological" disorder. Need to correlate with clinical appearances (for EED) and systemic disorders for PNGD.
