Abstract

Angina Bullosa Hemorrhagica (ABH) describes benign sub-epithelial oral blood blisters that are not attributable to a systemic disorder. ABH is predominantly seen in the soft palate, and its pathogenesis is not well understood, although most cases have been associated with mild trauma prior to the appearance of the lesion. The haemorrhagic bulla is often painless and present for a short period of time in the oral cavity. It ruptures spontaneously to form superficial erosions that heal without scarring, making it a self-limiting condition. Diagnosis is important to rule out vesiculobullous disorders, blood dyscrasia, and other systemic diseases. Here we present a case report of ABH affecting the soft palate. Interestingly, the haemorrhagic bulla developed after food ingestion, and the lesion ruptured spontaneously to form a painful ulceration in the soft palate. Symptomatic treatment was given, and the ulcer healed without scarring after 3 days.
