Where is the customer? From the responses, I'm starting to wonder about regional differences in usage. The customer's location may well be something to take into account.

evolving haematoma

This is a common phrase in U.S. radiology reports (evolving hematoma). I believe the British spelling is haematoma.

agree Chema Nieto Castañón : This is what I would naturally say. And yet Developing hematoma seems just as common. Might there be some regional differential preference as for one or the other?

developing hematoma

To mean this sounds the most natural. And at least in this part of the USA, I have yet to come across any medical personnel who use "evolution" as "evolución" is used in medical Spanish

Thank you. It may be a regional thing. I'm married to a nurse, and I pick her brain as to what sounds natural and common to her. But in other parts of the US - it could be different.
neutral Joseph Tein : She/they stated above that it's for UK English.
