Hematoma on the chest of this horse after running through a fence. This soft sack is filled with serum and/or blood but is sterile and should never be lanced or drained with a needle. A hematoma is filled with blood, a serum is filled with serum and an abscess is filled with pus. They all look the same from the outside but are different to the touch.
