Angina bullosa hemorrhagica (ABH) is a rare oral mucosal disorder characterized by blood blisters which is not related to hematologic or immunopathologic abnormalities. ABH is most common in middle-aged and elderly people and associated with local trauma, diabetes and long-term use of inhaled steroids. Diagnosis is generally based on reviewing history and clinical presentation and it is important to distinguish it from other serious disorders. Usually, ABH is benign condition which requires no treatment. We present a case of 81-year-old female with ABH.
