Resumo

AbstractThe muscular arch of the axilla is described in a male cadaver on the left side. The condition may be the result of a factor affecting the intrauterin development. Because this muscular arch causes difficulties in staging lymph nodes, axillary surgery, thoracic outlet syndrome, shoulder instability or cosmetic problems, it should be kept in mind for axillary pathologies.Key Words: Axillary Muscular archthoracic outlet syndrome Additional informationNotes on contributorsZ.
