What Causes Bump With Black Jelly Like Fluid On Leg?

my son in law had a large cut on his leg in December and yesterday, he felt a bump approx 4 inches in diameter and he pushed on it and about 30 cc's of black jelly like fluid came out. What would cause that? I have tried to google it and can't find anything.

Your son in law might have had hematoma i.e. collection of blood after the cut in his leg. This collection of blood overtime turns reddish black which is called as chronic hematoma clinically. I suggest you to visit a near by hospital and have the would checked for a signs of infection or any residual collection inside the cut. Thank you.
