ABSTRACT
The subscapular, anterior circumflex, and posterior circumflex arteries arise from the third part of the axillary artery. During dissection of the right upper limb of the cadaver of a 70-year-old male, a common trunk was observed arising from the third part of the axillary artery which, after traveling for 0.5 cm, bifurcated into subscapular and posterior circumflex humeral arteries. The common trunk was crossed anteriorly by the radial nerve. The medial nerve was formed by medial and lateral roots on the medial side of the third part of the axillary artery, remaining medial to the brachial artery up to the cubital fossa and then following its usual course thereafter. Awareness of the vascular variations observed in the present case is important when conducting surgical procedures in the axilla, for radiologists interpreting angiographs, and for anatomy-pathologists studying rare

findings:

RESUMO
As artérias subescapular, circunflexa anterior e circunflexa posterior se originam da terceira parte da artéria axilar. Durante a dissecção de membro superior direito de um cadáver humano com 70 anos de idade, do sexo masculino, um tronco comum foi observado originando-se da terceira parte da artéria axilar, após um percurso de 0,5 cm, bifurcando-se em artéria subescapular e artéria circunflexa posterior do húmero. O tronco comum era cruzado anteriormente pelo nervo radial. O nervo medial era formado por raízes medial e lateral, no lado medial da terceira parte da artéria axilar, permanecendo em posição medial à artéria braquial até a fossa cubital e seguindo seu curso usual a partir de então. Conhecimento das variações vasculares observadas neste caso é importante ao executar procedimentos cirúrgicos na axila, para radiologistas que interpretam radiografias, e também para anatomo-patologistas que estudam achados raros
