    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Surgical Anatomy
    • Human Anatomy

    Background:

    • The chondroepitrochlearis is a rare pectoral muscle anomaly.
    • It presents as an abnormal musculotendinous unit originating from the pectoralis major and inserting onto the medial epicondyle of the humerus.

    Observation:

    • A 2-week-old infant with normal gestational age presented with this rare anomaly.
    • The anomaly was identified as the chondroepitrochlearis muscle.

    Findings:

    • This case represents the only reported successful surgical release of the chondroepitrochlearis muscle.
    • Post-surgery, the infant experienced a return to normal functional status.

    Implications:

    • This successful surgical intervention offers a potential treatment for chondroepitrochlearis anomalies.
  • It highlights the possibility of achieving both functional and cosmetic improvements through surgical release.
