ABSTRACT
The authors describe the aspect of the dermal surface in firearm wounds. In entrance wounds, the abraded area is rather evident, with loss of the papillary pattern and lacerations of the basement membrane. Exit wounds appear as irregularly lacerated interruptions, with protruding collagen fibers; the surrounding dermis has nearly undamaged papillae. Also described, still on the dermal surface, are the flame effect and the powder tattooing. Evident lesions of the basement membrane, produced by the grains of powder, can be observed. Particles [gunshot residues (GSR)] are often recognizable lying on the dermal surface or entrapped among the collagen fibers of the superficial dermis.
