Are you sure this was a hematoma ???  I would wonder about some type of infection and I hope that you are being treated for this; whatever it is. Tissues are damaged by radiation as well as the skin but 4 years is quite a long time for this to be the reason. Now and then a hematoma will not be absorbed and will remain as a permanent lump within the tissues and I suppose this may have happened in your case but I doubt it would cause an open wound. I'm sure you have but if not please seek some treatment as soon as possible.     Regards .....
