The aim of this study was to determine the morphologic characteristics of the xiphoid process on 50 sternum of adult mapuche individuals obtained from necropsies. The xiphoid process was bifid in 42% of cases, with a spatula shape in 38%, in ovals and ellipsoid shapes in 10% and other forms in 10%.
