Definition This section has been translated automatically.

The vacuolated degeneration of the basal epithelial cell layers can occasionally lead to larger slit-like clefts known as Max-Joseph's spaces. In extreme cases, these clefts lead to the formation of subepithelial blisters (lichen planus vesiculosus or bullosus).
