Injuries that cause breast lumps

If a breast is injured by trauma, tiny blood

vessels can rupture to cause an area of
localized bleeding (hematoma) that can be felt
as a lump. Trauma to the breast can damage
the fat cells in the breast tissue, a condition
called fat necrosis. The injury can also form a
lump in the breast. These types of lumps that
follow a significant trauma are not cancerous.
Fat necrosis can also occur at the site of a
previous breast biopsy.

 A hematoma or haematoma, is a localized

collection of blood outside the blood
vessels,[1] usually in liquid form within the
tissue.
