This case report details the first documented instance of embedded home-made explosive (HME) in a patient following detonation. It highlights the unique clinical and radiological findings, management, and safe disposal of HME injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic pathology
  • Trauma surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Extensive literature exists on metal fragments from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in patients.
  • However, clinical and radiological descriptions of embedded home-made explosive (HME) are lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of partially detonated HME found embedded in a patient's forearm.
  • To discuss the medical management, associated risks, and safe disposal of such injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Discussion of clinical presentation, radiological imaging, surgical intervention, and hazardous material management.

Main Results:

  • A partially detonated HME was successfully located within the patient's forearm.
Keywords:
