Figure 11.51 arm injury, color. (see color insert following page 304.)

Figure 11.49 excised breast, uv.

Injury to this breast was thought to have been the result of an avulsive bite when
viewed in the color photograph (Figure 11.48). However, when photographed in
UV light (Figure 11.49), the borders indicate that the tissue was more likely
removed with a sharp instrument.
