Angina Bullosa Hemorrhagica: A Rare Case Involving the Ventral Tongue

Angina bullosa hemorrhagica (ABH) is a rare benign condition characterized by the sudden onset of hemorrhagic blisters in the oral mucosa, often triggered by minor trauma. We report a case of ABH in a 55-year-old woman with a history of asthma managed with inhaled corticosteroids who presented with a painful blister on the ventral tongue, an uncommon site. The lesion was associated with chewing trauma and resolved spontaneously within seven days without scarring. Laboratory investigations excluded systemic causes, and symptomatic treatment with benzydamine hydrochloride and 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwashes provided relief from discomfort. This case underscores the clinical features, diagnostic approach, and management of ABH, particularly highlighting its rare localization to the ventral tongue.
