An Unilateral Rectus Sternalis Muscle: It`s Clinical Significance.

An Unilateral Rectus Sternalis Muscle: It`s Clinical Significance.

Knowledge concerning the variations of chest wall musculature is imperative for Surgeons, Radiologists and Anatomists. Rectus sternalis is a variant chest wall muscle found in the anterior thoracic wall along the side of sternum. The presence of this muscle may be mistaken for tumor on mammogram, an...
