Hematoma or Lipoma?: You may have developed a post traumatic hematoma (small collection of blood) or lipoma (fatty cyst) in the area. Both are benign. Can take months for body to reabsorb hematoma (even small ones). If post traumatic lipoma, again benign, but may not ever go away. Ultrasound can help answer the question of what it is, but would not change the outcome or treatment. Hope this was helpful.
