| |
| The sections show well-circumscribed dermal nests of basaloid cells with peripheral palisading,

| surrounded by a dense fibrous stroma. The basaloid cells have distinct nucleoli. Focally, the
| |
| basaloid nests contain small clusters of cells with abundant pale, vacuolated, fluffy-appearing
| |
| cytoplasm (sebocytes). Mitotic activity is minimal.
| |
| | |
| There is no artefactual clefting between the stroma and basaloid cell nests. The epidermis

| matures to the surface and does not have basal atypia.
| |
| | |
| The lesion is completely excised in the plane of section.
| |

| =====Poor differentiated=====
| |
| The sections show well-circumscribed dermal nests of basaloid cells with peripheral
| |
| palisading, surrounded by a dense fibrous stroma, that extend from the skin surface almost
| |
| to the adipose tissue. The basaloid cells have moderate nuclear atypia with occasional monstrous cells. Mitotic activity is abundant and atypical mitoses are present. The nests contain rare cells with pale, fluffy-appearing cytoplasm, suggestive of sebocytes.

| |
| The diagnosis of atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is favoured. The main differential
| |
| diagnosis is pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma.
| |
| | |
| The extent of the lesion cannot be determined, as it is present at the deep margin.
| |
| | |
| This lesion should be re-excised, as it could represent an aggressive malignancy.
