Disease: Hematoma

    Hematoma facts
    • A hematoma is a collection of blood outside of a blood vessel.
    • Symptoms of hematomas depend upon their location and whether adjacent structures are affected by the inflammation and swelling associated with the bleeding.
    • Treatment of a hematoma depends upon which organ or body tissue is affected.
    • Superficial hematomas of the skin and soft tissue, such as muscle, may be treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Heat may also be considered.
