Giriş: Fabrikasyon yaralar (kurgusal, sahte veya icat edilmiş) yaralar, bir kişinin vücudunda kendi kendine oluşturulmuş veya başka bir kişi tarafından acı vererek oluşturulmuş olabilir. Buradaki temel amaç bir kişiye asılsız saldırı suçlamasında bulunmaktır. Vaka sunumu: Yetişkin bir erkek, karnının sağ tarafında yaralanma izi ile üçüncü basamak bir bakım merkezinin acil servisine geldi. Hastanın verdiği öyküye göre bu yaralanma, düşmanı tarafından kendisine ateş edildiği iddia edilen ateşli silahın mermisi sonucu oluşmuştu. İleri araştırmalar bunun uydurma bir yara olduğunu kanıtladı. Sonuç: Ateşli silah yarası taklidi için kullanılan yöntem alışılmadık ve nadirdir, bilgilerimize göre bu tür bir vaka daha önce literatürde bildirilmemiştir.

Abstract
Introduction: Fabricated wounds (fictitious, forged, or invented) wounds can be ‘self-inflicted’ when a person produces a wound himself on his body or self-suffered when a wound is produced by some other person on his body. The main motive here is to bring a false charge of assault on a person of enmity. Case report: An adult male came to the emergency department of a tertiary care center with an injury mark on the right flank of the abdomen. According to the history given by the patient, this injury was a result of the projectile of a firearm allegedly shot at him by his enemy. Further investigation proved that this was a fabricated wound.
Conclusion: In the case we have reported it was concluded that the injury mark on the body of the patient was a forged wound. The method used for fabrication is unusual and rare, as per our knowledge this type of case has not been reported earlier in the literature.
