Abstract

En 中文
The evaluation of skin findings is critical in identifying many types of injury, whether self-inflicted or accidentally or intentionally inflicted. Specific causes of injury include homicide, abuse, neglect, assault, self-inflicted injury, suicide, torture, poisoning, and bioterrorism. Forensic findings in hair and nails are also discussed. This overview of dermatologic findings in forensic pathology highlights the significance of the cutaneous manifestations of injury. (J Am Acad Dermatol 2011;64:811-24.)
