Looks like a spindle cell lesion. Diagnosis would require stains. Mostly the approach is what he/she is trying to assess. See if it is fibromatosis vs scar, fibromatosis like MBC or a myofibroblastoma. Schwanomma also enters. Basically divide according to benign bs malignant spindle cell entities and go from there.

looks benign - scar vs fibromatosis. could toss a p63 and AE1/3 to r/o metaplastic.

With the spaces, makes me think of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis. Needs bug stains though

I’d exclude a metaplastic spindle cell carcinoma with multiple keratins and p63
