A bruise (ecchymosis) or hematoma is a pocket of blood under the skin, in a muscle, or in an organ.
A bruise (“blue mark”) causes a more diffuse accumulation of blood under the skin than a hematoma, with much less pronounced swelling. After a few days, this bluish-purple mark turns greenish and then ochre yellow.
Hematomas under the skin (“subcutaneous”) appear as bluish lesions that are swollen due to the presence of blood. They result from the rupture of blood vessels that are larger than those affected when bruises occur.
Depending on their location, hematomas may be accompanied by other symptoms.
