Malignant for sure.
Malignant melanoma (metastatic much more likely than primary) is my first choice. Large cell carcinoma remains likely and needs to be ruled out. Dendritic cell sarcoma is much less likely. I cannot exclude a rare metastatic thymic carcinoma.
Confirm with at least two of melanocytic markers (S100, Melan A, HMB45, MITF) and AE1 first. If AE1 is positive and melanocytic markers are negative, add TTF-1, CD5 and CD117. If only S100 is positive and the other melanocytic markers and AE1 are negative, add CD68 and two of follicular dendritic cell markers (CD21, CD23, CD35).
This is not paraganglioma, meningioma, thymoma or carcinoid tumor.
