    • Abstract:
      This report presents a case description of sternalis muscle which is an accessory muscle of anterior thoracic wall. A 56-year-old woman underwent mastectomy for breast cancer along with free flap reconstruction, revealing the presence of aberrant sternalis muscle. It was divided transversely during partial rib resection to expose internal mammary vessels. The case proceeded with successful flap transfer. Clinical implications of this anatomic variation is discussed. The authors conclude that plastic surgeons should be aware of this muscular anomaly.
