Rare bilateral vascular variations of the upper limb: a cadaveric case study.

J Cardiothorac Surg

December 2024

Centre for Human Anatomy Education, Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Biomedical Discovery Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, Clayton, Australia.

Arterial variations in the upper limb are of significant clinical importance, especially in procedures such as venepunctures, coronary artery bypass grafts, trauma reconstructive surgeries, brachial plexus nerve blocks, and breast reconstructions. This report presents previously undocumented arterial variations in the upper limbs in a 95-year-old female cadaveric donor. We observed bilateral superficial ulnar arteries originating at the cubital fossa, deviating from the previously reported origin at the proximal brachial artery.

Damage to the upper trunk of the brachial plexus, often caused by high-energy trauma, leads to significant functional impairment of the upper limb. This injury primarily affects the C5 and C6 roots, resulting in paralysis of muscles critical for shoulder and elbow function. If spontaneous nerve regeneration does not occur within 3-6 months post-injury, surgical intervention, including nerve transfers, is recommended to restore function.

Accessory breast cancer cases are rarely reported in the literature. Of the reported cases, the predominantly available ones are those localized in the axillary region. We present here a very rare case of metastatic accessory breast cancer.

Unilateral giant axillary accessory breast in male: Case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

November 2024

Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Collage of Health Sciences, Salale University, Fiche, Ethiopia. Electronic address:

Introduction: Accessory breast tissue is a rare condition occurring in 1-3 % of males, primarily in the bilateral axillary region. Kajava Class I accessory breast, characterized by glandular tissue, an areola, and a nipple, is rarely reported. This case report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management of this rare entity in an elderly male.

Article Synopsis
  • * This anatomical variation is significant due to its low occurrence and the need for surgeons to be aware of it during procedures involving the axillary region.
  • * Lack of knowledge about the dorsalis major muscle arch can lead to complications during surgeries like axillary curage or breast reconstruction using a dorsalis major flap.
