Swelling due to injury and cancer

2024-04-18 14:10:26
Sir, can a swelling in the leg due to an accident lead to cancer in future ? I heard that a boy who was injured while playing developed a swelling due to that injury which later turned to cancer. How far it is feasible? I thought to consult an expert like you regarding this. Can a swelling due to any injury lead to cancer?

Swelling due to injury will be due to bleeding or hematoma. Doesn't lead to cancer as such . But trivial trauma with swelling can lead to existing cancer detection.
