What Could A Lump After Accident Indicate?

My husband was standing behind a truck and got hit with multiple rocks on the inside of his calf and had a very bad bruise now he has a knot the size of a tennis ball that's hard and painful. Its been 3 weeks since the incident and the knot has not gone away. What could it be?

Hi.
This can be hematoma only, obviously with the history you have provided.

Get checked if necessary and get aspirated to confirm the diagnosis.
