“…Elderly patients are mainly affected, and lesions heal spontaneously without scarring. To date, approximately 50 cases have been reported, primarily in the dental literature (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). The pathogenesis is unknown, although it may be a multifactorial phenomenon.…”

Angina bullosa hemorrhagica is characterized by acute blood blisters, mainly on the soft palate. Elderly patients are usually affected and lesions heal spontaneously without scarring. The pathogenesis is unknown, although it may be a multifactorial phenomenon. Trauma seems to be the major provoking factor and long term use of steroid inhalers has also been implicated in the disease. No underlying hematologic or immunopathogenic disorder has been found. Treatment is symptomatic. We present a 67‐year‐old patient with recurrent oral blood blisters which were diagnosed as angina bullosa hemorrhagica. Trauma by dental injections and use of steroid inhalers were identified as etiologic factors in this case. Erosions healed within a week. Although this is a benign condition, it may result in acute airway obstruction. Recognition is, therefore, of great importance for dermatologists.

“…Dans cette localisation, une bulle volumineuse peut induire une situation de détresse respiratoire aiguë par obstruction des VADS [9]. Dans certains cas, la formation de la bulle semble favorisée par une intubation ou une extubation [4,10]. L'incidence de cette affection est évaluée à 0,5 % [3].…”

Résumé -L'angine bulleuse hémorragique constitue une affection bulleuse bénigne et méconnue de la cavité buccale et de l'oropharynx. Après une durée de vie limitée, la bulle hémorragique laisse place à une ulcération non spécifique qui peut constituer une réelle difficulté diagnostique. L'histologie est peu contributive et l'immunofluorescence négative. Le diagnostic est principalement clinique. Son étiologie et sa son pathogénie restent largement incomprises. Le seul facteur favorisant connu concerne l'utilisation d'aérosols de corticoïdes au long cours. L'évolution est le plus souvent spontanément favorable mais un cas exceptionnel d'obstruction des voies aériennes supérieures a été décrit. Des récidives apparaissent fréquemment. Un cas survenu chez une femme de 66 ans après des soins dentaires est rapporté.Abstract -Angina bullosa haemorrhagica after dental treatment: report of a case. Angina bullosa haemorrhagica is a benign and unrecognised affection of the oral cavity and oropharynx. The limited length life of the blister make place for a non specific ulceration, which make up the main difficult diagnosis. Histology remains few contributive and immunofluorescence negative. Based on clinical diagnosis, its aetiology and pathogenesis remains widely unknown. The only known favorising factor is the use of long term inhalation of steroid. This evolution is spontaneously favourable, despite a exceptional case of upper airway obstruction. Recurrences appears frequently. A case in a 66 year-old woman after dental treatment is reported.Mots clés :  angine bulleuse hémorragique / bulle / ulcération buccale
