Histology

Hyperkeratosis (without parakeratosis), focal hypergranulosis, dense, bandlike inflammatory lymphocytic infiltrate in upper dermis attacking basal layer of epidermis, causing obscuring of dermoepidermal junction (lichenoid infiltrate), saw shape irregular acanthosis, scattered melanophages apoptotic keratinocytes (Civatte bodies); immunofluorescence: lace like deposits of fibrin
