We report the case of a young female patient presenting with a clinical picture of pulmonary embolism, in whom widespread deposits of metallic mercury were demonstrated throughout both lungs and in a lesion on the wrist. These resulted from intravenous injection of mercury by the patient in a suicide attempt.
