Depends on depth and IHC. Atypical dermal smooth muscle tumour / leiomyosarcoma most likely. Quite DF/FH-like epidermal changes though!!

Agree with the considerations above. I would also add dermal clear cell sarcoma to the differential especially if some melanoma markers turn out to be positive

Intersecting fascicles of elongated spindle cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm favors a tumor with smooth muscle differentiation. Nuclear pleomorphism and high mitotic activity drive to the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma.
Happy 2015 to all my dermpath friends!

Agree with sarcoma. Probably leiomyosarcoma based on the first two images.
