Infiltrate of atypical lymphoid cells with epidermotropism requires IHC and search for any systemic lymphoma. Could be a primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic T cell lymphoma

I also favor more a Lymphoma especially B Cell types, specifically PCFCL, think there is a vague tendency for follicle formation especially in the 2nd set of images. In the 2nd set, epidermis seems to be spared. A word of caution: reactive phenomenon often mimics neoplastic processes especially with Lymphomas - so IHC is compulsory to differentiated between a benign reactive process (Eg: Pseudolymphomas) vs true lymphomas
