Keywords:
Common axillary artery trunk, anatomical variantAbstract
This work describes the presence of anatomical variant of the axillary artery in an incidental case dissecting the Department of Morphological Sciences , School of Medicine, Universidad de Ciencias Médicas, said variant occurs in less than 0.2 % of the population. Also the subject and its clinical significance is reviewed .
