Self-harm behavior is defined as the person\'s intentional, direct injuring of some body tissue or the whole body most often done without suicidal intentions. Mild types of self-mutilation is seen frequently however more severe ones are rarely seen. Severe self-mutilation is generally a sign of a serious psychiatric disorder and it can result in organ and/or organ functionality loss. In this study we aimed to present a schizophrenic patient with repetitive self-mutilation. As a conclusion, practicing clinicians should take into consideration the possibility of self-harm behavior in schizophrenia patients especially if they have high risk properties.
