Abstract

Introduction: Hemorrhagic bullous angina (ABH) is a rare, benign and generally asymptomatic condition, characterized by the sudden appearance of blisters filled with blood on the mucous surfaces of the oral cavity and oropharynx. Objective: This work aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the clinical, etiological and histopathological characteristics of hemorrhagic bullous angina, in addition to addressing diagnostic methods and treatment options. Materials and methods: A search was carried out for scientific articles published from 2010 to 2023, in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), US National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and ScienceDirect databases. Articles were collected in English and Portuguese using the keywords "hemorrhagic bullous angina", "benign hemorrhagic bullous stomatitis", "hemorrhagic bullous angina" and "benign hemorrhagic bullous stomatitis". Conclusion: ABH is scarcely documented in the literature, with many data missing or underreported. Although it is a benign condition with rapid spontaneous evolution, the diagnostic procedure must be rigorous to rule out other possible lesions.
