**Core Concept:** Lichen Planus is a chronic, autoimmune, mucocutaneous disorder characterized by a band-like infiltrate of lymphocytes in the dermis and mucosae.
**Why the Correct Answer is Right:** Lichen Planus is primarily a mucocutaneous condition, and the correct answer should not be a histological feature specific to mucocutaneous lesions.
**Why Each Wrong Option is Incorrect:**
