A 39-year-old policeman was admitted to our emergency department with a thoracic gunshot injury. His only symptom was local pain, without dyspnea, hemoptysis, or hematemesis. On physical examination, a bullet entry wound was seen in the left midclavicular line, and no exit wound or subcutaneous emphysema was identified. Angiotomography showed the bullet lodged at the T1-T2 level, without vascular lesions.
