A tumour formed by blood. By some, this term has been applied to a tumour formed by blood, effused into the areolar texture of the scrotum. Others have used it for tumours arising from effusion of blood into the tunica vaginalis :-haematocele, according to them, differing from hydrocele, only in the character of the effusion.-Heister. Others, again, have applied it to effusions of blood into the interior of the tunica albuginea itself. - Richter. The first is the usual acceptation. It is most commonly caused by wounds or contusions; and requires the use of antiphlogistics, discutients, &c. Sometimes it is necessary to evacuate the effused blood.
