It seems this is a circumscribed proliferation of epithelioid cells with adjacent epidermal hyperplasia. The cells are large with prominent nucleoli. Mitotic figures are seen, although the depth of them is hard to evaluate in the pictures provided. Pagetoid spread and junctional involvement are not prominent features of the lesion (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm in agreement with others that it's prudent to decide the cell nature by immunohistochemistry. Melan-A, HMB45 and S100 can be considered as the first round to see if this is a melanocytic lesion.
If this is a melanocytic lesion, this lesion has concerning features of melanoma, including lack of maturation, atypical cytology, and increased mitotic activity. Given the absence of pagetoid spread and junctional involvement, Sptiz nevus is not a top differential diagnosis. Admittedly, the cells have spitzoid morphology.
Clear cell sarcoma of soft parts is positive for melanocytic markers. The histologic findings in this lesion do raise this possibility. But the superficial location and the patient's young age are not typical for clear cell sarcoma of soft parts. FISH study (t(12,22)) is of value in distinguishing this entity from melanoma.
Melanoma FISH study is utilized more and more frequently in diagnosing a tough melanocytic lesion, although its sensitivity and specificity are still subjects of research.
