hematoma
This term is primarily used in clinical and medical settings to describe a specific type of internal bleeding. While a layperson might use the word bruise, a hematoma refers to a more significant accumulation of blood that often creates a palpable, raised lump or swelling under the skin or within an organ.
Because it describes a physical mass of blood, it is treated as a countable entity in medical reports. Practitioners typically categorize them by location, such as subdural or intramuscular, to specify the exact anatomical site of the hemorrhage.
