RESUMEN
Haemorrhage from a surgical wound can be from many potential sources such as injury to vessel, muscle and bone; bleeding disorders; incomplete haemostasis; pseudoaneurysm; and neovascularisation. We report an unusual cause of haemorrhage from the surgical incision in a 9-year-old child. We emphasize that a high index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis, and pseudoaneurysm and neoangiogenesis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses resulting from direct, blunt trauma even in children.
