I slipped on stairs i land very hard on the top left of my butt cheek. it was a massive hard bruise. bruise is gone but still a hard mass remains why?

Two events: You injured the gluteal muscles by landing on them -and- you broke blood vessels in area causing bruise. The bruise has been mopped up / reabsorbed by your body, but the muscle injury is still under repair. Can last a few weeks, warm compresses may help reduce discomfort and improve healing.
