Nevus sebaceous with follicular induction and associated BCC (favored over trichoblastoma for immunos).. Not sure of the top left image, Does it contain trichoblastoma on the right side!..

Thanks. There is definitely naevus sebaceous and superficial trichoblastoma (with prominent reactive Merkel cells). There is a BCC-like nodule (epithelial predominant for CD10 lacking reactive Merkel cells) that could be a nodular trichoblastoma or a BCC - I can't tell the difference if I'm honest but the p16 and p53 are giving a "benign" pattern. I've repeatedly had this problem over the years and I can say I've never seen a deeply / irregularly invasive or infiltrative typical BCC in naevus sebaceus so my gut feeling is these are benign lesions (best excised with clear margins).

NS with Trichoblastoma. I also don't consider those as BCC.. but they do have a spectrum changes. stains in my hand not helping much in this scenario.
