    We report a 21 years old woman that was admitted in the emergency room due to a extensive chest trauma caused by a gunshot. The patient was subjected to an emergency thoracotomy. A right lung lower and middle lobectomy, partial hepatectomy, diaphragmatic suture and mastectomy were performed. A primary chest closure was done, using a Marlex prosthesis covered by a cutaneous flap. During the postoperative period, the patient had a surgical wound infection, that was treated conservatively and was discharged 42 days after surgery
