The sternalis muscle in a cadaver and an overview to its significance in clinical approaches

Abstract

The sternalis muscle is a well-known variation of the anterior chest wall since 1867. The incidence of the sternalis muscle differs among the population. Chinese people has the highest incidence with 17.1%. The sternalis muscle was observed unilaterally in a formalin fixed adult male cadaver on the right side during routine dissection. The muscle originated at the level of the third sternocostal articulatio as two heads. It was ended fusing with pectoralis major muscle at the level of sixth costal cartilage 35.2 mm distance from midclavicular line. Although no function of sternalis muscle has been reported by now, this rare anatomic variation has great importance for radiologists and cheast surgeons in diagnosis and therapy. Because of this reason, in this paper we discuss our case and the previous reported cases.
