I think EMA is weakly positive? Perineurioma?

I must say I was stumped by the low-power architecture of this lesion, where a spindle cell neoplasm with storiform pattern seemed to be lying almost wholly within the epidermis.  Obviously this must be an attempt at transepidermal elimination of a dermal tumour, which has been almost completely nipped off by the epidermis.  I looked back at Richard Carr's case 1521 of perineurioma posted on 22.4.16 which shows the same phenomenon to a less pronounced degree.

I would therefore agree with Mona that with the EMA positivity, perineurioma is the likely diagnosis.  Factor 13a would be interesting.

Dr Chaudhry:

Well done - the final diagnosis was a perineurioma !

yes, I did also wonder if ALK (as well as claudin) might help with the differential diagnosis in this case. I have seen a spindle cell variant of epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma.
