Trust your doctor: Sarcoma of the foot is very rare. The explanation given to you seems reasonable. You may watch and wait. If the lump more than doubles in size, then you may get a second opinion.

Hematoma, not sarcom: You most likely have a hematoma (a pooled collection of blood clots underneath the skin), a common condition that can occur after a physical injury. It's more common if you are on blood thinners. Sarcomas are usually slow-growing lumps (takes months/yrs) . The only way to be sure is to perform a biopsy. Continue treatment, but talk to a doc who knows you well, esp if not healing. Or use HT Prime.
