Nevoid melanoma? Fairly bland, but maybe a banal nevus in the background at the edge. This is one I'd get a second opinion on for sure.

Morphologically weird maturation in deep dermis and many plasmocytoid cells, unusual in deep component of a nevus. So there is a suspect nevoid melanoma, How about Prame? Prame is positive ( 4/5 ). So I think this is a nevoid (too nevoid) melanoma.

It displays  fibrosis and a  somewhat unconventional maturation with plasmacytoid cells (as Vicenzo noted). It is highly suspicious of melanoma. I would like to see p16 and Ki67 to assess better. I cannot rule out a traumatized/recurrent nevus.

Nevoid melanoma. An example of how prame can be useful in difficult cases. No prior trauma or therapy in this area. Agree that recurrent nevus is part of the ddx, but prame is quite convincing.
