    Chronic expanding hematomas can mimic tumors and share a consistent structure. Their growth is driven by blood irritants causing inflammation and bleeding within granulation tissue.

    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Chronic expanding hematomas (CEH) are rare intra- or extra-thoracic collections of blood.
    • CEH can present as a mass, often simulating neoplastic processes.

    Observation:

    • CEH exhibit a uniform structure: a central blood collection, a granulation tissue wall, and peripheral fibrous tissue.
    • The expanding nature of CEH is a key diagnostic feature.

    Findings:

    • The hematoma's self-perpetuating expansion is attributed to the irritant effects of blood and its degradation products.
    • Capillary bleeding and exudation within the granulation tissue wall contribute to lesion growth.

    Implications:

    • Understanding CEH pathophysiology is crucial for accurate diagnosis and differentiating them from malignancies.
