Dr. Pallavi A. Kulkarni, Dr. Sudhir M. Sant

Abstract :

The aim of the present case report is to increase awareness of the presence of variations in Extensor Pollicis Longus anatomical arrangements. The variation was found during routine cadaveric dissection in an approximately 50 years old male cadaver, apparently healthy with no other anomaly. The condition was bilaterally present. An accessory extensor pollicis longus had a separate origin along with superficial group of common extensor muscles , normal muscle had its usual origin and both tendons were inserted at the distal phalynx of the thumb separately. When compared with literature the present case is unique and hence significant.
