A morphological report of Langerscher Achselbogen in man

Abstract

The authors observed a case of so-called Langerscher Achselbogen of an 81 year-old male.
The both right and left variational tendons spring from the cranial border of each Latissimus dorsi and cross the axilla ventrally over the axillary vessels and nerves, then join to the tendon of the Coracobrachialis and the short head of biceps brachii. The right tendon was 8.63cm in length, and 1.83cm in breadth and the left was 4.07cm in length, and 1.60cm in breadth.
