haematomas
Subcutaneous blood collections
Haematomas is the plural of haematoma, a localized collection of blood outside the blood vessels, usually clotted, caused by injury or surgery.
The blood pools in tissue, forming a swelling that may be painful and discolored: The boxer developed haematomas around both eyes.
Haematoma is the British spelling; Americans write hematoma.
