%X Variant muscle slips arising from the pectoralis major or the latissimus dorsi muscle have been described before. Here in these report, we present a rare case of aberrant muscular slip originating from the pectoralis major called as the ¡°thoracoepicondylaris¡± and an unusual slip from the latissimus dorsi called as ¡°axillary arch of Langer¡± to have a common insertion after arching superficial to the axillary neurovascular bundle into the fascia covering the biceps brachii. Clinical consideration of such a variation is discussed since the knowledge of the muscle is important for differential diagnosis.
