Angina Bullosa Hemorrhagica in Oral Cavity: A Case Report

Abstract

Angina bullosa hemorrhagic (ABH) was primarily introduced by Badham in 1967; it is a rare, idiopathic condition in the oral cavity, which was described as a bulla filled with blood. The present Case shows A 33-year-old healthy male patient presented to the dental clinic with an oral lesion in the palatal area that had been present for 4 days. The history revealed that the lesion appeared after eating hard and spicy food. This was the patient's first episode of such swelling. The patient had no history of chronic bleeding disorders and was not on any regular medications. Clinical examination revealed a vesicobullous lesion on the left side of the soft palate, which was dark blue in color, filled with blood, and measured 1.5 x 1 cm in diameter. The  patient was treated with prednisolone 5 mg once a day for 3 days as a mouthwash, along with chlorhexidine 0.12% twice a day for 5 days. A follow-up appointment after 2 weeks showed complete healing of the lesion
