2/15. Angina bullosa haemorrhagica: presentation of eight new cases and a review of the literature.Angina bullosa haemorrhagica (ABH) describes the acute and sometimes painful onset of oral blood-filled vesicles and bullae not attributable to blood dyscrasia, vesiculo-bullous disorders, systemic diseases or other known causes. The haemorrhagic bullae spontaneously burst after a short time resulting in ragged, often painless, superficial erosions that heal spontaneously within 1 week without scarring. Although the pathogenesis is still unclear, ABH seems to be a multifactorial phenomenon: dental or functional trauma seems to be the major provoking factor. The lesions of ABH can be easily confused with other mucosal diseases. It is important that the presentation of this benign disorder is distinguished from other more serious disorders with similar presenting features. The aim of this paper is to report the clinical features of eight cases of ABH, in an attempt to distinguish ABH from other blistering diseases of oral mucosa and to describe their management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = mucosa (Clic here for more details about this article) |

4/15. Infra red coagulation for bleeding mucosal telangiectasia.The technique of infra red coagulation is well suited to the destruction of superficial blood vessels in the skin and/or mucosal surfaces.

5/15. Acquired haemophilia heralded by bleeding into the oral mucosa in a patient with bullous pemphigoid, rheumatoid arthritis, and vitiligo.Acquired haemophilia is rare and potentially fatal, with a mortality of 20% if left untreated. There is a strong association with other autoimmune diseases. This report describes a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo, and bullous pemphigoid where the diagnosis of acquired haemophilia was made after an extensive bleed into a bullous lesion in the buccal mucosa. This case highlights some of the potential complications of acquired haemophilia and its treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = mucosa (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/15. Hemorrhage in the floor of the mouth after second-stage surgery: case report.Placement of dental implants in the interforaminal region of the mandible is generally considered a routine, simple, and safe procedure. However, severe bleeding and hematoma in the floor of the mouth have been reported as a rare but potentially fatal complication related to the placement of an implant in this region. The following report describes a case of life-threatening hemorrhage in the floor of the mouth after second-stage surgery to place the healing abutment. The implants were forced to match with the prosthesis in a severely atrophic upper jaw, resulting in a perforation of the lingual cortex and mucosa of the floor of the mouth. Clinicians who place implants should be knowledgeable in the treatment of such a serious complication.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mucosa (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/15. Mega-dose intravenous methylprednisone for the treatment of onyalai: a case report.Onyalai, a peculiar manifestation of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura characterized by a haemorrhagic bullae of the oral mucosa and lips, was diagnosed in a 1.5-month-old Turkish boy. He was treated with mega-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (30 mg/kg for 3 days) with prompt platelet response and improvement of oral mucosal findings.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = mucosa (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/15. Acute promyelocytic leukemia appearing as spontaneous oral hemorrhage: report of case.Oral signs and symptoms may often signify a serious underlying systemic disease. This case report describes a 45-year-old Oriental male with spontaneous oral hemorrhage and submucosal bullae of 4 days' duration. These oral findings represent the initial manifestations of acute promyelocytic leukemia. An aggressive postdiagnostic course was taken; however, the patient died 8 days after the diagnosis was established.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mucosa (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/15. Recurrent petechial hemorrhages and hemorrhagic vesicles of the oral mucosa.The foregoing case is an example of amyloidosis in which biopsy of a hemorrhagic vesicle on the buccal mucosa established the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis was made, the patient's cardiomyopathy, nephrotic syndrome, hepatomegaly, GI hemorrhage, hematuria, and oral lesions readily were explained.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = mucosa (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/15. Acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.A 35-year-old man had hemorrhagic bullae of the buccal and sublingual mucosa as the first sign of acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Twenty-four hours later the more typical cutaneous manifestations of petechiae of the lower extremities were present. Although it is unusual for the initial symptoms of this disease to be limited to the oral region, the physician and dentist should be keenly aware of the clinical appearance described in this article, as it may be the only clue of an underlying systemic disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mucosa (Clic here for more details about this article) |
