A contusion is a bruise. Bruises are weird-- they do not always occur right after being hurt. But they often show up within 24 hours. So a suspected contusion means the doctor believes the type of injury will likely produce a bruise. Also, on a dark skinned person, it can sometimes be difficult to determine if it's an area of skin discoloration (like we all have here and there) or a true bruise.
