Abstract

Organizing hematoma occurs in many locations and simulate neoplasms. They have similar histologic features such as having a central mass of blood, granulation tissue, and dense, fibrous tissue at the periphery. There have been sporadic reports of organizing hematoma found not only in the soft tissue but also in the brain, adrenal gland, lung and maxillary sinus. We report a case of nontraumatic organizing hematoma encountered in a child -on the supraclavicular fossa. To our knowledge it is a site that has not been previously reported.
