Abstract
Angina Bullosa Hemorrhagica (ABH) is a recurrent disorder characterized by the appearance of oral mucosal blisters filled with blood, mainly in the soft palate and tongue of middle-aged or older adults. We report a case of a 68-year-old White female patient with no relevant medical history complaining of a blood blister on the lateral surface of the tongue lasting 2 days. No possible triggering factors were identified. Based on clinical features and exclusion of hematologic disorders, the diagnosis was ABH. The treatment was an incision of the blister and prescription of analgesic drugs. At 15 days of follow-up, the oral mucosa was normal. ABH can easily be confused with autoimmune or hematologic disorders. Therefore, recognition of the lesion is essential to dentists to avoid misdiagnosis. The clinical management of ABH is often focused only on the relief of symptoms.
