Not a tumor -- perhaps a hematoma?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaTO8_KNcuoWell, it's not a tumor. (Tomah?) There's two likely culprits. It's either a hematoma (more likely) or an abscess (less likely).Ewww... gross.The quarter is there for a sense of scale. I just seem to be an overachiever, eh? It's great when a doctor comments how big it is. Or the nurse "I don't think I've ever seen something like that!":doh:It grew from being the size of a grape to the size of an egg. Wait. Strike that. All growths must be measured in the size of a fruit or vegetable. Maybe the size of a small kiwi fruit? Ennie suggested a shallot. Perhaps an apricot?In any case I'll be at the doctors' office again and they'll likely drain it tomorrow and we get to see what's inside.Awesome birthday present: draining a hematoma.:doctor: :present:[smugmug url="http://photos.vec.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=gallery&Data=17326140_MWjVHf&format=rss200" imagecount="100" start="1" num="100" thumbsize="Th" link="lightbox" captions="false" sort="false" window="true" smugmug="true" size="L"]
