What Does A Lump On The Cheekbone After An Injury Indicate?

My son hit a metal post, on a trampoline, face first. He hit the upper cheekbone. It immediately became swollen and black & blue. He also had a slight concussion. The CT scan showed no fracture or injury, but now 3 weeks later, he still has a solid knot on the cheekbone and still looks swollen. What is this and what should I do?
