I also think this is a cellular neurothekeoma.

Cells look too atypical and mitotically active for a cellular neurothekeoma. Also myxoid change is not usually a feature.
Not sure about the diagnosis though, need immunos!

The first image, cellular neurothekeoma, was the first thought. I am a little concerned it lacks the typical packeting by hyaline collagen. Most of the CNs I have seen were also slightly more plump epithelioid cells dominating. The cellular atypia and atypical mitotic figures can be seen in cellular neurothekeomas without adverse outcome. I would want to see the IHC of course. My differentials included MPNST and an atypical myoepithelial lesion (before looking at the age which fits better with neurothekeoma).

Cellular neurothekeoma most likely, vs. Type I NF related MPNST.

I ended up calling this (after showing the case around to many of my friends and colleagues in the area) atypical cellular neurothekeoma, but it is certainly the most atypical one I have seen. It was negative for S100, MelanA, desmin, CK5/6 and Sox-10. It was positive for CD10 and focally for S100A6. I advised complete excision.
