ABSTRACT
During an educational dissection, the third head of the biceps brachii muscle was found on the left side in a 63-yearold female Korean cadaver. The short and long heads showed normal morphology, and their courses were as follows The third head was originated from the middle level of the humerus under the short head and inserted in the conjoined tendon of the long and short heads of the biceps brachii muscle. The musculocutaneous nerve penetrated the third head of the biceps brachii muscle and became the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm. The authors describe this novel case and discuss the clinical implications of such a variation.
RESUMEN
Durante una disección educativa, la tercera cabeza del músculo bíceps braquial se encontró en el lado izquierdo en un cadáver coreano de 63 años de edad. La cabeza corta y la cabeza larga mostraron una morfología normal, y se presentaron de la siguiente forma La tercera cabeza se originó en el nivel medio del húmero, inferior a la cabeza corta, y se insertó en el tendón unido de las cabezas larga y corta del músculo bíceps braquial.

Los autores describen este nuevo caso y discuten las implicaciones clínicas de esta variación.
