What Causes Large Bruise And Lump In Thigh After Accident?
Hi, I was in car accident in 2001. I had a large bruise and lump form on my outer left thigh. I had an MRI after the bruising healed to see why there was still a large lump. The doctor told me that it was not tissue damage and appeared to just be fatty tissue. But how can that be since it wasnt there before the accident and immediately formed after the accident?

hi.
lipoma (or fatty tissue deposit) can occur anywhere in the body, even if there's no triggering factor. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. if the lesion causes you discomfort and starts to bother you, it is best if you have it removed. definitive management is excision biopsy of the lesion, along with antibiotic treatment.
hope this helps.
good day!!
