초록

랑거겨드랑활은 겨드랑에서 흔히 나타나는 변이다. 랑거겨드랑활의 해부학적 그리고 임상적 중요성 때문에 이에 대한 관심이 많다. 학생실습과정에 68세 여성 시신의 오른쪽 팔에서 근육변이가 관찰되었다. 이 근육은 넓은등근의 가쪽모서리에서 근육의 형태로 일어났다. 그 후 힘줄의 형태로 겨드랑동맥과 정중신경을 가로질러 지나간 후 넓어지며 다시 근육의 형태로 큰가슴근에 부착되었다. 우리는 이 근육변이를 소개하고 이것의 임상적 의의에 대해 논의하였다.

Axillary arch is relatively common variation of muscle in the axilla. There were several attentions on axillary arch due to its anatomical and surgical importance. During educational dissection, a variant muscle was found in right arm of 68-year-old female cadaver. The variation of muscle originated from the lateral edge of the latissimus dorsi muscle as muscular form. And then, it crossed the axillary artery and median nerve as tendinous form. Finally it became wide as muscular form and inserted into the pectoralis major. We reported this variant muscle and discussed its clinical significances.
