Not enough images, or too difficult case for me. ? Sebaceous Carcinoma.

Difficult for me too. But let´s try: What about a Trichilemmal Carcinoma?

Agree with clear cell squamous cell carcinoma, but why is neither a Sebaceous Carcinoma nor Trichilemmal Carcinoma to me?
Well, in SC the cells have microvacuolated cytoplasm and central nuclei, irregular, spiculates and kind of scallopated with a lot of mitotic figures and even necrosis;  TC is well difenid with periferall palisaded, lobulated, there is more atypical squamoid cells, bright eosinofilic citoplasm with clear cell changes as well, the nuclear atypia is moderate to severe, mitotic figures incresed a few of them atypical and of course... trichilemmal like keratinization

Clear cell SCC. I thought the type and amount of clear cell change was striking. I will ask Trevor about the images. They have a lot of compression artefact.
