Abstract
Angina bullosa haemorrhagica (ABH) is a rare and benign disorder, localized in oral mucosa as blood-filled bullae, which is not attributable to blood dyscrasia and autoimmune vesiculobullous disorders. The diagnosis of ABH should be based on clinical features, medical history, histopathologic and immunopathologic features. The blood-filled bullae can heal spontaneously without scarring, if necessary, symptomatic treatments should be done. This article reviews the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis and management of ABH.
