I think the immunohistochemistry was posted after the previous comments.  I am inclined to go with spiradenoma although I wouldn't say it is typical.  The possible ductal differentiation, hyaline material, EMA positivity and lymphocytic response would support this diagnosis.

IHC is supportive of basaloid trichilemmoma. 

Turnbull N, Ghumra W, Mudaliar V, et al. CD34 and BerEP4 Are Helpful to Distinguish Basaloid Tricholemmoma From Basal Cell Carcinoma. Am J Dermatopathol. 2018;40(8):561-566.

Yes well done and thanks for sharing the reference to our paper. The basaloid variant of tricholemmoma can be quite a challenge but quite easy to confirm by IHC if you think of it (BerEP4 negative / weak / focal; patchy CD34). We're going to see lots my p16/p53 profiles but this one is a nice mosaic / wild type for p53 and low wild type p53 both commensurate with a benign lesion.
