Hello, I had a small breast cyst aspirated 3 weeks ago. The pathology came back totally benign. But, in the process of the aspiration, the surgeon hit an artery and the result was a hematoma. Well, the hematoma is finally less painful, but I am still bruised (greenish now). And, where the cyst was, I still feel a "limp". The surgeon says that is the "blood clot" and it will resolve. My question is, do these hematomas completely resolve and how long does that usually take. If it does not resolve completely and I am left with a "lump" in that spot, how will it appear on my next mammogram. My fear is, they will suggest a biopsy of the hematoma. It seems I had a little problem and now I may have a bigger one?
