Abstract
Angina bullosa haemorrhagica is a rare blood filled vesiculobullous lesion of the oropharynx with the most common site affected being the soft palate. Many etiological factors have been reported including trauma, hypertension, hyperglycemia and even iatrogenic causes. Management is based on the dimension of the lesion. Usually smaller lesions are self-limiting, but larger lesions require surgical intervention. The haemorrhagic bullae spontaneously burst after a short time resulting in ragged, often painless, superficial erosions that heal spontaneously within a week without scarring. The awareness about the clinical presentation of this lession in the field of dentistry is very much necessary as it mimics other lesions leading to misdiagnosis. This paper highlights the diagnostic criteria, essentially based on clinical data, possible treatment approaches of the disorder.
