Abstract
A case of an 'Axillary Arch of Langer' is reported during a routine axillary lymphadenectomy for breast carcinoma. The features of this muscle are described together with other less common axillary muscular anomalies. Knowledge of these anomalies is important for surgeons performing safe axillary surgery [1].Keywords
