hematomas
Subcutaneous blood collections
Hematomas is the plural of hematoma, a localized collection of blood outside the blood vessels, typically caused by injury or surgery.
Blood pools in tissue, forming a swollen, discolored mass: The boxer developed hematomas around both eyes.
Small hematomas often resolve on their own; larger ones may require drainage.
