Abstract
Angina bullosa hemorrhagica is a benign condition usually present with blood filled blisters in the oral cavity without any apparent systemic disease. The awareness of the disease will help in early diagnosis and subsequent management.We hereby describe a case of ABH simulating hemangioma in a 44 year female with recurrent episodes of hemorrhagic lesions in the oral cavity with spontaneous healing without any specific treatment.
Keywords: blood-filled; hemangioma; hemmorhagic bulla.
