Abstract
Postmortem rodent activity is a potential source of confounding marks for forensic pathologists when unmasking criminal activity. It might a lso be that something innocent could be masquerading an ''end result'' of rodent disturbance. A chronic skin lesion which proved to be a ''p seudo-rodent'' artefact is briefly communicated and supplements an ear lier published article on artefact in forensic medicine.
