What Causes Dark Purple Bruise On Face?

I have a friend who has a large, dark purple bruise on the side of her face. When I say large, I mean it encompasses from the left side of her temple to the left side of her lower cheek. What is it? I know she's not abused at home, and she says the bruise doesn't hurt. Is there any explanation for this? Could it be leukemia?
