Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that due to injury over the stomach there has been soft tissue trauma and the lump formation is due to hematoma formation..
Hematoma is a harmless tumor like mass formed due to spillage of blood from ruptured blood vessels leading to accumulation of blood into the soft tissues forming a lump..

At times the hematoma gets localized and encapsulated and forms a firm hard lump that can take a long time, say a few months to resolve, but it generally tend to resolve itself..

You should do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lump..
Apply Heparin gel as it help in faster disintegration of the hematoma..

In case if it worsen consult a General Surgeon and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
