Looks like Spiradenoma with cylindromatous features (Spiradenocylindroma)

Blue balls, jigsaw puzzle, thickened eosinophilic basement membrane around the lobules point towards cylindrospiradenoma.

Agree with spiradenocylindroma. There also appears to be some sebaceosus differentiation, which can occur and labeled as sebaceous spiradenocylindroma, these composite more common in Brooke-Spiegler syndrome.

This case resembles very much the case number 910 of 13th December 2013.. Areas typical of hidradenoma and others of rippled sebaceoma! Still can't tell which one is favored!!

Nice discussion and range of thoughts on this case.

I also favoured sebaceoma. As many of you have pointed out, the rippled pattern is a nice instant clue at low power in this case, and should be a prompt to search for sebaceous differentiation if you are aware of this uncommon but distinct architectural pattern in sebaceoma. It is a large-ish lesion with some mitosis, but relatively well-circumscribed. Furthermore, the p53 (wild-type) and Ki67 (minor hot spots only) shown below are also largely reassuring for benign.

There were areas of retraction artefact, but none have fallen into the trap of calling this a BCC. I must admit that I had not really considered hidradenoma, but I can now see that the 6th image in particular does definitely have some resemblance, but overall this seems to be a minor component. There is also some mimicry to spiradenoma, but I think the absence of lymphocytes and typical dual cell population negates this.
