I had a persistent seroma on my mastectomy site. Didn't disperse naturally, didn't disperse with aspirations, and with hindsight I had two mild infections (no pain, flu type symptoms, fever and wooziness) before the really bad infection (pain, swelling etc) that required a week in hospital and surgery to clear out.
