Axillary arch muscle.
Langer's arch is one of the rare muscular variation in the axillary region. In the present article, a case of 50 year old male cadaver with axillary arch in the right axillary region is being reported. It originated from anterior border of latissimus dorsi and merged with short head of biceps brachii. The embryological derivation, genetic basis and clinical implication of this muscular variant ...
متن کاملAxillary arch may affect axillary lymphadenectomy.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify the axillopectoral muscle anomaly commonly known as Langer's axillary arch, and to understand its importance in surgical procedures of the axilla. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2009 and 2011, 758 patients underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy, axillary dissection, or both. Patients with Langer's axillary arch were identified and assessed retrospe...
متن کاملLanger's axillary arch
Langer's axillary arch is usually asymptomatic and difficult to detect preoperatively. When present, it is important for surgeons operating in the axillary region, to identify correctly the relevant anatomy. Simple surgical division is curative and necessary in order to achieve exposure of the axillary contents, lymphatic dissection, and neurovascular preservation.
متن کاملAxillary arch: a rare variation
The axillary arch is a muscle slip varying from 7 to 10 cm in length and 5 to 15 mm in breadth. It occasionally arises from the edge of the latissimus dorsi, at about the middle of the posterior fold of the axilla and crosses the axilla in front of the axillary vessels and nerves to join the under-surface of the tendon of the pectoralis major, the coracobrachialis, or the fascia over the biceps...
متن کاملMuscular axillary arch accompanying variation of the musculocutaneous nerve: axillary arch
Continuous attention has been developed on the anatomical variations of the axilla in anatomist and surgeon due to their clinical importance. The axillary region is an anatomical space between the lateral part of the chest wall and the medial aspect of the upper limb. During the routine dissection of embalmed cadavers, we found variant muscular slip originating from the lateral border of tendin...
