Angina bullosa Hemorrhagica is characterized by the acute formation of a blood filled blister not attributable to a systemic disorder. The pathogenesis is unknown, however it is multifactorial. The most common cause is trauma prior to the appearance of the lesion. They occur mainly in the soft palate; lesions are asymptomatic and heal spontaneously without scarring. This case report discusses angina bullosa hemorrhagica which occurred due to stretching of buccal mucosa by mouth mirror during clinical examination.

Abstract


Angina bullosa Hemorrhagica is characterized by the acute formation of a blood filled blister not attributable to a systemic disorder. The pathogenesis is unknown, however it is multifactorial. The most common cause is trauma prior to the appearance of the lesion. They occur mainly in the soft palate; lesions are asymptomatic and heal spontaneously without scarring. This case report discusses angina bullosa hemorrhagica which occurred due to stretching of buccal mucosa by mouth mirror during clinical examination.
