Unilateral Pectoralis Minimus Muscle: A Case Report

Unilateral Pectoralis Minimus Muscle: A Case Report

Presence of additional muscles in the pectoral region has often been reported. We report about the presence of Pectoralis Minimus muscle, in a male cadaver. It was present deep to the pectoralis major muscle and superomedial to the pectoralis minor muscle. The variant was closely related to the bran...
