The forensic literature has described unusual wounds of entry into fatal stab wounds that are rarely found in autopsies. Stab wounds are considered fatal injuries when they occur in vital organs. Many authors have suggested that the description of the wound track helps recreate the crime scene. Still, many say that the recreation of a crime scene is a static event, whereas the actual event is dynamic. We received the dead body of a 25-year-old male for postmortem examination. During autopsy, we found a wedge-shaped stab wound in the epigastric region. Interestingly, when we dissected the skin and subcutaneous tissue without disturbing the wound, we observed two separate wedge-shaped wounds over the rectus sheath. A knife can produce an atypical appearance after plunging into the body. With a single external primary stab wound, two different wound tracks can be made internally. Thus, examining only the wound track made it impossible to comment on the circumstances of violence.
法医学文献中描述了致命刺伤中罕见的进入伤口，这些伤口在尸检中很少见。当刺伤发生在重要器官时，被视为致命伤。许多作者认为伤口轨迹的描述有助于重现犯罪现场。然而，许多人表示，犯罪现场的重现是一个静态事件，而实际事件是动态的。我们接收了一名25岁男性的尸体进行尸检。尸检过程中，我们在中上腹区域发现了一个楔形刺伤。有趣的是，当我们在不干扰伤口的情况下解剖皮肤和皮下组织时，我们在腹直肌鞘上观察到两个分开的楔形伤口。刀子刺入身体后可能会产生非典型外观。仅一个外部原发性刺伤，内部就可以形成两条不同的伤口轨迹。因此，仅检查伤口轨迹无法对暴力情况作出评论。
