[An unusual case of cadaver dismemberment].
The authors present a case of dismemberment that is exceptional because of the small size and impressive number of fragments (538 excluding the internal organs). The head was intact, allowing classical identification through comparison of the dentition with the dentist's record. The cause of death could not be ascertained, though it can be supposed that the victim had been killed by sharp force.
