This is a challenge. It seems something of follicular differentiation: infundibular hypergranular growth and germinal trychoblastic with pmb stromal partner, and trichilemmal features, but don’t see any matrichal differentiation. Not enough to think of panfolliculoma?

Benign follicular tumor. Some resemblance to PIlar sheath acanthoma but also shows papillary mesenchymal bodies and abortive bulb- may be an unusual panfolliculoma.

Yes I agree. This was a benign follicular tumour that had not read the textbooks in any detail. Pilar sheath acanthoma-like and could be classified as a variant of panfolliculoma or even trichoblastoma. The p16 and p53 lacked aberrant patterns. You could debate if there were HPV-associated changes but that would need some in situ technique to confirm.
