Abstract

Because gun possession is illegal in Japan, gunshot wounds are rare as compared with Western countries. We describe our experience with a patient who had a gunshot wound. The bullet entered the left upper lip, penetrated the faucial isthmus along the left buccal mucosa, and was retained in the posterior cervical region.
