When they did the CBC a Hematoma may have formed!. A hematoma is a blood clot which forms within the body!. It is caused by leakage of blood into the tissues from an injured vein !. It will resolve spontaneously!.Hematomas are caused by excessive needle trauma to a vein, for example, by a needle which passed entirely through a vein and came out the other side!.Apply compression to help stabilize a hematoma!. Use some ice to keep the swelling and bruising minimal!.
