hi dear thanks for query on HCM
kindly check whether there is a history of trauma. if yes it can be a simple seroma which developes as the blood gets absorbed. if no then he needs to get evaluated by blood test and needing a analysis of the fluid or biosy of the swelling.
hope your query is answered
